Count number of days.
subtract 7 * number of weeks.
Depends on where your week starts - if it is a sunday that should be correct - if not might need to be amended using start and end date days.

Other option - start at start date and count 1 for each day omitting sundays
Can be done easily using a cte.

If you have a date table which includes the day name you can just join to that. That would be a good idea if you need this sort of calculation because you will probably have to deal with bank holidays and such at some point.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

That will just tell you if the start date is a sunday - not if there are sundays between the two dates.
