Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that God mandates a particular weekly schedule, but they do believe that regular gatherings please God and have real practical benefit.
(Hebrews 10:24,25) And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together
In the United States, the typical pattern for a single-congregation Kingdom Hall is to schedule meetings for Sunday morning (9:30 or 10:00), Tuesday evening (7:00 or 7:30), and Thursday evening (7:00 or 7:30). Meetings for field service are held seven days a week, typically at 9:00 or 9:30. All scheduling is a local matter, and varies according to local considerations.
Any respectful visitor can be assured that he will be assisted in finding a seat, obtaining a bible (which is used frequently in all meeting parts and which he is invited to keep), borrowing a song book (meetings begin and end with song and prayer), and sharing a copy of any publication or reference work that is being considered. Most men wear neckties and most women wear skirts or dresses at meetings in the United States, but these are not required and at times even a baptized Witness must attend in more casual clothing.
Each year the branch office of each land also schedules each congregation to attend an "Assembly Day", a "Circuit Assembly", and a "District Convention"; ideally these three events are spaced four months apart but that is not always possible. Special meetings or events are sometimes scheduled when a foreign missionary or other speaker visits an area, or to commemorate some special occasion, such as a Kingdom Hall dedication.
In some areas, a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses schedules literacy classes. Individuals also plan social gatherings which may be largely or completely attended by Jehovah's Witnesses, but these are not connected specifically with the congregation (or "church").

On a regular basis we have 4 meetings a week. Two on Sunday and two on another day that varies with the kingdom hall. In addition we have special classes for different groups such as pioneer school for those preaching full time (70 hours a month). We also meet for a brief arrangement and prayer before going out from door to door. This might occur anytime during the day. Other groups meet to do telephone work. We might also be having a luncheon for one reason or another. Come and join us. We study the bible to learn God's will for us and how best to help others. I believe we are the only group in the world living in complete harmony, peace and love. There is no better life on earth.

The standard is Sunday morning, Tuesday evening, and Thursday evening.
I was raised in a Kingdom Hall that had only 1 congregation. (Small town)
Now, I live in a larger city with 20 or so congregations. My particular Kingdom Hall has 3 congregations sharing the building.
You could pretty much find a meeting in progress any time Sunday and just about every evening.
I agree with the other posters to call your local Kingdom Hall.
Try at:
9:30 am Sunday
9:00 am any weekday
7:00 pm Tuesday
7:00 pm Thursday
9:00 am Saturday

You will note from the answers above is one of the significant difference between JWs and other religions. Instead of having a mega church with one paid leader, since every witness it taught the same, anyone could end up leading a congregation, circuit, district, or serving on the governing board. Just as Peter, who was a Fisherman, or Matthew, who was a Tax Collector, went on to be leaders in the new Christian movements, though they lacked a formal education, let alone a theological training like the Apostle Paul did, any witness can be a leader. As such, each Kingdom Halls can hold 3-4 congregations, having up to 1000 attendees, put together, with each congregation having its own set of elders, none of which get paid.

It's called a Kingdom Hall, and the times and days vary with the number of congregations in a Kingdom Hall. If there are two, or three congregations using a Hall, they stance the meetings so that everyone gets to 5 meetings a week. Usually in my Hall, there are two meetings on Sunday, at 1and 2pm. There were two more earlier, at 11 and 12, for another congregation. Then we meet for a book study on different days of the week and different times, sometimes even individuals homes. There are two more meetings on Thursday night for my congregation. If you are interested in attending a Hall, you can contact them for your own local meeting times.

I would call the kingdom hall and check. It would depend on how many congregations you would have in your area.. Mine now has a sign language meeting.some have English and Spanish...and so on.. so you would be better just calling..
But there are meetings on Sunday Tuesday and Thursday...
Hope this helps...
