Catholics above the age of discretion (about 7) are obliged to attend Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.

We are required by Church Precept (law) to participate in Mass every Holy Day of Obligation designated by the Church. Which includes every Sunday. To intentionally and willfully not do so is a mortal sin.
 
As often as you can. At a bare minimum of every Sunday and the handful of Holy Day’s of Obligation scattered througout the year. Daily Mass is not required, but can be a wonderful source of grace.
 
In addition, a Catholic should (not required, though) attend mass daily, if possible.
 
It is keeping the Third Commandment of God

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work

When Jesus rose on the third day that day became the Lord’s Day.

If the question is:
“How often one **must **attend mass”, then the answers have been given by other posters.

If the question is:
“how often one should attend mass”, it should be every day if he could.
