Easter Countdown 2027

How many days until Easter?

This timer counts down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to the next Easter Sunday at midnight in your local time zone. Use it to plan Easter shopping or time off or build excitement with kids. This timer counts down to the next Western Christian Easter, which falls on a different date each year between March 22 and April 25.

When does Easter fall each year?

Easter doesn't have a fixed date: it is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox (March 21), set by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. That puts it between March 22 and April 25 in any given year. Easter 2026 lands on April 5, Easter 2027 on March 28, Easter 2028 on April 16, Easter 2029 on April 1, and Easter 2030 on April 21. Good Friday is the Friday before, so it's always two days earlier. Eastern Orthodox Easter uses the Julian calendar and usually falls a week or more later in the year.
