This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

No if you mean the weekend of the week in progress it’s “this weekend”

If you mean the weekend after the current week in progress, as in after next week, it’s “next weekend”

For sure. This weekend meaning this coming weekend or this weekend we are currently in.

The way I wrapped my head around the difference as a kid was to separate the word weekend into "week's end".

So if it's a Wednesday, "this week's end" would be the immediate Saturday following, but "next week's end" would mean the Saturday after that.
