Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

    This.

    There’s no point in “this” Saturday, just say Saturday. Or Saturday the 4th.

    “Next Saturday” is ambiguous, but most native English speakers will consider the following week, not the week you are in.
