No, it would be very rare.

I received an acceptance email last Sunday afternoon.

Results page showed someone receiving an acceptance email on February 1st(Saturday) for a Mathematics PhD program from Georgia Tech.

It depends on who sends out the decision. If it's a faculty member, a weekend email is certainly a possibility; if it's a member of the administrative staff, a weekend is much less likely.

I got both phone calls from one program on a weekend. 

 

Got e-mail acceptance at an odd time for one other, as well. 

 

It just depends when the person sending them out happens to have time that week, and what their work schedule's like.

And if it's a physical letter it can show up any day you have mail service. My admissions guy has emailed me on Saturday night. In theory - no, but in practice it's possible.
