How the date of New Year is set
The countdown runs to midnight at the start of January 1 in your own time zone, which is when the year changes on your clock.
Midnight reaches different places at different times. The first inhabited places to see the new year are Kiritimati and the other Line Islands of Kiribati, at UTC+14. American Samoa, at UTC−11, is among the last, 25 hours later.
Other calendars have their own new year on a different day: Chinese New Year falls between January 21 and February 20, and the Islamic and Hebrew new years move against the Gregorian calendar.
Is New Year a day off?
January 1 is a public holiday in almost every country that uses the Gregorian calendar.
In the US it is a federal holiday. When it falls on a Saturday, the day off is the Friday before, December 31; on a Sunday, it is Monday January 2.
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 New Year 2027?
New Year 2027 is on Friday, January 1, 2027. In 2028 it falls on Saturday, January 1, 2028.
How long until midnight on New Year's Eve?
The live countdown above is exactly that: the time left until 12 am on January 1 in your time zone. On December 31, the hours and minutes show how long until the year changes.
Which country celebrates the new year first?
Kiribati's Line Islands, including Kiritimati (Christmas Island), at UTC+14. New Zealand's Chatham Islands follow 15 minutes later, then Samoa, Tonga and the rest of New Zealand at UTC+13.
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 New Year, so with New Year two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
