next week

Coming seven days

Next week refers to the seven-day period immediately following the current week, typically understood as starting on Sunday or Monday depending on cultural convention.

It functions as both a noun phrase and an adverb of time: I'll see you next week, Next week's meeting has been canceled.

The boundaries can be fuzzy—someone saying "next week" on a Friday might mean the coming Monday or the Monday after that.
