How the date of Mother's Day is set
In the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, Germany, Italy and many other countries, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May, so it falls between May 8 and 14.
The US date comes from Anna Jarvis's campaign, and President Wilson proclaimed it a national day in 1914.
Other countries use other dates. The UK and Ireland celebrate Mothering Sunday three weeks before Easter. Mexico uses May 10, many Arab countries March 21, and France the last Sunday of May (moved to June when that is Pentecost).
More on how moving holidays are worked out: why holidays like Easter, Diwali and Eid move every year.
Is Mother's Day a day off?
It is always on a Sunday, so it isn't a separate day off.
Florists and restaurants are busiest that weekend, so book or order a few days ahead.
Planning around it? The working days in the answer box count Monday to Friday only. Take out any public holidays in between, or use the date calculator to count from another date.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is Mother's Day 2027?
Mother's Day 2027 is on Sunday, May 9, 2027. In 2028 it falls on Sunday, May 14, 2028.
Is Mother's Day the same date in the UK?
No. The UK's Mothering Sunday is three weeks before Easter Sunday, in March or early April. See the Mothering Sunday countdown for this year's date.
Why is Mother's Day on a different date each year?
Because it is a weekday rule, the second Sunday of May, not a fixed date. The date moves between May 8 and 14.
Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of Mother's Day, so with Mother's Day two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
