Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, but:
"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."
Colossians 2:16-17

It is different in religions. The Jewish celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday and so do the Seventh Day Adventists.
Catholics have a mass on Saturday evening which is called anticipatory...another words, leaving the masses given on Sunday to be the celebatory masses. So, they actually see the Sabbath on Sunday but, have masses everyday!
Most all Protestant religions celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday.
Now, I cannot answer you as to why some are Saturday and some are Sunday! I just know that we are to have a day of rest, worship the Lord and keep it sacred. I am pretty sure the Jewish have it right though as for the Sabbath as their religion dates back further than any of the others!

The Jews have been observing the Sabbath from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday for thousands of years. In the 4th century AD, Emperor Constantine outlawed keeping the Sabbath on Saturday and changed it to Sunday to try to harmonize the Christians with the pagans in order to have more political control over both groups.
Sunday is named as it is because the pagans worshiped the Sun on that day.
Saturday is the true Sabbath.

This really sucks. Not one answerer knows this? Yikes! Oy vey!
Colossians 2
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
Christ is our Sabbath. Worship any day and anywhere you want, because:
John 4
21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
Anytime, anywhere. Christ is our Sabbath!
Why do Christians have to be so "Religious"?

It is from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday.That is the way God designed it.
Sabbath is for a rest for man. Of course religious Jewish people worship on the Sabbath, but some Christian denominations do too.
It has never changed to Sunday. Some (most) Christian denominations worship on what is called the Lord's Day. There is some debate as to what day that is! But most agree that the Lord's Day is Sunday.
Read Romans chapter 14. If a person feels compelled or convicted to worship on a particular day then let them. Don't be a stumbling block to a fellow believer regarding what day to celebrate or what kinds of food to eat.
We are to build one another up!

The Sabbath is Saturday, but the Lord's Day is Sunday. Sunday is the day Jesus resurrected.

Yes
The original Sabbath for the Jews is Friday at sunset till Saturday at sunset. Early Christians also worshiped on that day. It was the Emperor Constantine that changed it to Sunday. So Christians would not worship like Jews. At the time there was great bigotry towards Jews..actually nay non-Christians.

Sabbath
Definition: Sabbath is taken from the Hebrew sha·vath´, meaning “rest, cease, desist.” The sabbatical system prescribed in the Mosaic Law included a weekly Sabbath day, a number of additional specified days throughout each year, the seventh year, and the fiftieth year. The weekly Sabbath of the Jews, the seventh day of their calendar week, is from sunset on Friday until sunset on Saturday. Many professed Christians have traditionally kept Sunday as their day of rest and of worship; others have adhered to the day set aside on the Jewish calendar.

It is Sunday
Exodus 20:8-11: The Ten Commandments command everyone to preserve the seventh day, Saturday, as a day of rest:
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: (in it) thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
