If you have dconf Editor, launch it and navigate to /org/gnome/desktop/calendar/show-weekdate. Then disable Use default value and set Custom value to True.
Alternatively just open Terminal and run
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.calendar show-weekdate true

1That simple! I like the gsettings method, except that I would not have figured this out without googling. But that is addressed by the other answer. Still much better than under windows where, somewhere around 2017, had to install a different calendar tool to see week numbers. +1 – Roland Dec 05 '23 at 16:40

As of 24.04, this option is now part of the native Ubuntu system settings. For the older versions, please see the end of this answer.
When you open the Settings application, at the bottom of the left menu, select "System" and then choose "Date & Time" from the right menu.
You can toggle the week numbers at the bottom of the "Clock & Calendar" section.
Before 24.04
You can do that with the GNOME Tweaks.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Open the application after installing it.
- Go to the "Top Bar" menu item from left.
- There's an option called "Show week numbers". Check it.

2@ZoltánSüle I updated the answer. The option is now part of the system's default settings app. – Dan Oct 08 '24 at 18:14
