How Many Days Until Easter 2026?
The countdown to Easter is running: Sunday, March 28, 2027.
A live countdown to Easter Sunday, recalculated every second.
About this countdown
Easter does not have a fixed date: it is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March, which is why the date moves around the calendar every year. This page works out the date for 2026 by itself and counts down to it.
That makes it useful for the weeks before: the school countdown, the church preparation, the family plan. Full screen for the hall, a shareable link for the group chat, and no setup at all.
