New Year's Day is 1 January, the first day of the Gregorian calendar year.
The countdown at the top of this page is computed in your browser against your own clock, so it is accurate to the second and always targets the next New Year's Day — once January 1, 2026 passes it rolls straight on to January 1, 2027. The table below is a fixed reference: New Year's Day is January 1 every year, and because the date is fixed, only the day of the week changes from year to year.
Need the gap between two arbitrary dates instead — a birthday, a deadline, a lease end? The date difference calculator gives the exact years, months and days between any two dates, in either direction.

How many weeks until New Year's Day?
Divide the countdown above by seven: the days-remaining figure updates in your browser against today's date, so the weeks figure beside it is always current. The countdown targets the next New Year's Day — January 1, 2026 — and rolls over to the following year the moment it passes.
How many working days until New Year's Day?
