I would like to display the week numbers in the calendar that is shown in Ubuntu with GNOME shell v3.26 when clicking on the date in bar at the top of the screen.

If you have dconf Editor, launch it and navigate to /org/gnome/desktop/calendar/show-weekdate. Then disable Use default value and set Custom value to True.

Alternatively just open Terminal and run

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.calendar show-weekdate true

    That simple! I like the gsettings method, except that I would not have figured this out without googling. But that is addressed by the other answer. Still much better than under windows where, somewhere around 2017, had to install a different calendar tool to see week numbers. +1 – Roland Dec 05 '23 at 16:40

Edit: since early 2018 GNOME Tweak tool was renamed to GNOME Tweaks - source.

You can do that with the GNOME Tweaks.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Open the application after installing it.

  1. Go to the "Top Bar" menu item from left.

Ubuntu Tweak Tool

  1. There's an option called "Show week numbers". Check it.
