While looking into the new missals I’ve noticed two reading plans, this is from the description of the Daily Roman Missal from the MWTF

“Prayers, antiphons, and readings (A-B-C cycle for Sundays, two-year cycle for weekdays) for all Masses throughout the liturgical year.”

So is there a 3 years cycle for Sundays and Two year cycle for weekdays? I thought there was just one three years cycle for the OF and a one year cycle for EF?

I’m confused can anybody help me here?
 
Yes, in the Of, there are 3 year cycles (A,B.C). Weekdays in ordinary time have 2 cycles (I, II).

🙂
 
I tried searching as I’m sure what I want to know has been discussed but I am not able to find the correct thread.
Over the three year cycle of readings what percentage of the New Testament and Old Testament is covered?

In the Extraordinary Form there is a one year cycle for the Propers for each day.

In the Ordinary Form it’s a little more complicated:
For Sundays and some major solemnities (such as Pentecost, Ascension, & Low Sunday) there is a three year cycle.
For Weekdays in Ordinary Time there is a two year cycle.
For some major solemnities (such as Christmas, Easter, & the Immaculate Conception), feasts, and the ferials of Advent, Christmastide, Lent, and Paschaltide, there is a one year cycle.
