Predicted and scheduled events
- March – The 2029 Special Olympics World Winter Games are scheduled to be held in Switzerland.
- April 13 – Asteroid 99942 Apophis, at 335 metres (1,100 feet) wide, will pass Earth less than 32,000 kilometres (20,000 miles) from Earth's surface: closer than geosynchronous satellites. When discovered, it was considered a serious threat to Earth, but since then refined predictions have ruled out any impact risk for the next 100 years. This will be the closest approach of an asteroid this size scientists have predicted.[1]
- August 15 – If not triggered earlier, the next United Kingdom general election is scheduled to be held no later than this date.
- October 15 – If not triggered earlier, the 46th Canadian federal election is scheduled to be held no later than this date.
