How many days until Memorial Day?
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday in May, so the countdown above rolls over to next year automatically the moment this year's Memorial Day passes — it will never show a negative number.
The big number is the count of whole days from today until Memorial Day. The live timer beneath it ticks down the remaining hours, minutes and seconds in your local time zone, so it stays accurate wherever you are.
How the date is worked out
Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, so it falls between May 25 and 31. The countdown finds the final Monday of the month automatically.
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday in May each year. The counter at the top of the page shows the exact number of days until the next Memorial Day, updated live. Below it, a timer counts down the remaining hours, minutes and seconds.
What day of the week is Memorial Day this year?
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday in May each year. The weekday therefore changes from year to year. The date line under the headline shows the full weekday and date of the upcoming Memorial Day, calculated automatically from your device clock.
Does the countdown reset after Memorial Day?
The Memorial Day countdown resets automatically. As soon as Memorial Day has passed, the timer switches to next year's date, so the figure on screen is always the time until the next Memorial Day. It never counts up and never shows a negative number, and the year label beside the headline updates to the new target year.
What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?
Memorial Day honours US military personnel who died in service, while Veterans Day on November 11 honours everyone who has served. Memorial Day falls on the last Monday in May, so the date lands between May 25 and May 31, and it is a federal holiday. It began after the Civil War as Decoration Day and took its fixed-Monday form under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971. By custom the national flag flies at half-staff until noon, then is raised to full staff for the rest of the day.
