About this countdown
New Year 2027 falls on Friday, 1 January 2027. The countdown above is live — days, hours, minutes and seconds, updating as you watch.
How many days until a date?
Enter it above and the count appears immediately, in days as well as to the second. The popular dates below are already set up.
Does it keep counting if I close the tab?
The count is worked out from the date, not from a running clock, so it is always correct when you open the page again — even days later.
Can I count down to a time, not just a day?
Yes. Set the time alongside the date and it counts to that exact moment. Leave it at midnight to count whole days.
