Calendars

One date, twelve calendars

Most “today’s date” pages give you the Gregorian month, day, and year, and that’s it. But across the world, the same instant in time is named differently. A developer needs the ISO 8601 string. A spreadsheet wants the day of year. An astronomer wants the Julian Day Number. A scheduler in Bangkok thinks in Buddhist Era; a friend in Tokyo writes “Reiwa 8”; a colleague observing Ramadan needs the Hijri date.

This page shows today in all of them. The values first appear for the current UTC date, then switch to your own local date as soon as the page loads, since near midnight your date can be a day ahead of or behind UTC.

Today, in depth

Reading today's date

Beyond the month and day, today carries an ordinal day number, an ISO week, a quarter, a season, and a zodiac sign. Here is what each one means and how it is derived.

Day 309 of 365

The day-of-year number counts from January 1 (day 1). Today is day 309, leaving 56 days in 2026. Spreadsheets and APIs use this ordinal date when a single integer is easier than a month-and-day pair.

ISO week 45

Under ISO 8601, today falls in week 45 of week-year 2026. ISO weeks start on Monday and week 1 is the week containing the year’s first Thursday — the standard most European business calendars use.

Days left in year, quarter, and month

56 days remain in 2026, 56 in Q4, and 25 in November. These are whole calendar days counted from tomorrow to the relevant period end.

Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere

By the conventional fixed-date boundaries, today falls in autumn north of the equator (and the opposite season south of it). Astronomical season starts shift by a day or two each year around the equinoxes and solstices.

Zodiac sign: Scorpio

Today’s date sits under the Western tropical zodiac sign Scorpio. The twelve signs divide the year into roughly month-long bands; the boundary dates used here are the widely published conventional values.

2026 is a common year

2026 has 365 days — it is not a leap year. The Gregorian rule: a year is a leap year if divisible by 4, except century years, unless they are divisible by 400.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's today's date?
Today's date in your timezone is shown in the live clock at the top of this page. The page also displays the same moment in 12 different calendar systems — Gregorian, ISO 8601, Julian Day Number, Unix timestamp, Hijri Islamic, Hebrew, Chinese lunar, Japanese Reiwa, Thai Buddhist, and the Indian national calendar — so you can pick whichever format you need.
How do I find today's date if my computer's clock is wrong?
This page reads the date from your browser, which gets it from your operating system. If your OS clock is off, the date shown will be off too. To sanity-check it, open our Exact Time tool, which estimates your device-clock drift against the WorldClockTools server clock over HTTPS. It is not a certified time source.
What is the Julian Day Number?
The Julian Day Number (JDN) is a continuous count of days since November 24, 4713 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar (or January 1, 4713 BCE Julian). Astronomers use it because it has no months, no leap-year exceptions, and no calendar reform discontinuities — every day is just an integer. Today's JDN is shown in the table above.
What's the difference between Gregorian and ISO 8601 dates?
Gregorian is the everyday calendar written as a month name, day, and year. ISO 8601 is a numeric, internationally unambiguous format such as YYYY-MM-DD that sorts correctly as a string and never mixes up day-month order. ISO 8601 also defines week dates, which spreadsheets and many APIs use for fiscal weeks.
Why is the Hijri (Islamic) date here different from what my mosque shows?
The Islamic calendar is observational — Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura authority, regional moon-sighting committees, and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) all publish slightly different month-start dates, often differing by ±1 day. We show the Umm al-Qura calendar, Saudi Arabia's official calendar, which is computed in advance from astronomical data. Dates announced locally after a moon sighting can differ by a day.
What year is it in the Chinese calendar?
The Chinese lunar calendar uses two parallel year encodings. The cycle position (1 to 60, sexagenary) is what most apps display. The continuous count from the legendary reign of the Yellow Emperor (2697 BCE) gives a year in the 47xx range — that's what we show. The current zodiac animal is also displayed.
Which Indian calendar does this page show?
The Indian national calendar (Saka era), the official civil calendar of India alongside the Gregorian one. It is a solar calendar whose year starts on 22 March (21 March in leap years). Traditional Hindu calendars such as Vikram Samvat are lunisolar and depend on the moon and on regional conventions, so they are not shown here; use a panchang for festival and religious dates.
