If you don't have a table having all the dates between your start date and end date (inclusive) then you need to adopt a query which will create all the dates between your given date range (inclusive) first. Then use WEEKDAY function of MySQL to check whether the day is Saturday or Sunday

SELECT 
dateTable.Day,
DAYNAME(dateTable.Day) AS dayName
FROM 
(   SELECT ADDDATE('2016-07-01', INTERVAL @i:=@i+1 DAY) AS DAY
    FROM (
        SELECT a.a
        FROM (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS a
        CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS b
        CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS c
    ) a
    JOIN (SELECT @i := -1) r1
    WHERE 
    @i < DATEDIFF('2016-08-01', '2016-07-01')

) AS dateTable
WHERE WEEKDAY(dateTable.Day) IN (5,6)
ORDER BY dateTable.Day;

WORKING DEMO

Note: WEEKDAY returns the weekday index for date (0 = Monday, 1 = Tuesday, … 6 = Sunday).

EDIT:

If you need only count:

SELECT 
COUNT(*) AS total
FROM 
(   SELECT ADDDATE('2016-07-01', INTERVAL @i:=@i+1 DAY) AS DAY
    FROM (
        SELECT a.a
        FROM (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS a
        CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS b
        CROSS JOIN (SELECT 0 AS a UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2 UNION ALL SELECT 3 UNION ALL SELECT 4 UNION ALL SELECT 5 UNION ALL SELECT 6 UNION ALL SELECT 7 UNION ALL SELECT 8 UNION ALL SELECT 9) AS c
    ) a
    JOIN (SELECT @i := -1) r1
    WHERE 
    @i < DATEDIFF('2016-08-01', '2016-07-01')

) AS dateTable
WHERE WEEKDAY(dateTable.Day) IN (5,6)
