USA Weekend was an American weekend newspaper magazine published from 1953 to 2014.

Founded as Family Weekly, it was purchased in 1985 by the Gannett Company, which turned it into a sister publication to Gannett's flagship newspaper USA Today and distributed it in the Sunday editions of participating local newspapers,[1] At its peak, USA Weekend was the country's second-largest national magazine supplement (behind Parade) and was distributed to more than 800 newspapers nationwide.[2] Gannett ceased publication after the December 28, 2014, issue, citing a decline in print advertising and a company effort to minimize duplicative offerings.[3]
