About New Year's Day
The first day of the year. After New Year's Eve parties and the midnight countdown, most Americans spend it resting, watching the Rose Parade and college football bowl games, and starting on their resolutions.

How this count works, and questions
How this count works
New Year’s Day is January 1. The day count ends when that date arrives in your timezone.
A calendar-day count does not tell you how many hours remain until midnight. The exact countdown below uses the same date at midnight.
A worked example
From November 4, 2026 in New York, January 1, 2027 is 58 days away. The span contains 42 weekdays and 16 weekend days.
Questions about this countdown
Does the count include today?
No. The count leaves out today and includes New Year's Day itself. The day before, it shows 1 day. On New Year's Day, it shows 0 days.
Which time zone does the count use?
Your device's time zone, named on the Today line at the top of the page. Choose another time zone in the form to count to midnight there instead.
Why might another countdown show a different number?
Some countdowns also count today, or count full 24-hour periods. This page counts calendar dates. The clock under the answer shows the exact time left until midnight at the start of New Year's Day.
Is New Year's Day a public holiday in the US?
For federal employees, yes. New Year's Day is one of the legal public holidays listed in federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103). States, schools and private employers set their own days off.
What happens when New Year's Day falls on a weekend?
For most federal employees, a Saturday holiday is taken on the Friday before and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after. The table of dates by year shows each substitute day off.
