Frequently Asked Questions

How many days until Mother's Day?
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May each year. The counter at the top of the page shows the exact number of days until the next Mother's Day, updated live. Below it, a timer counts down the remaining hours, minutes and seconds.
What day of the week is Mother's Day this year?
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday 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 Mother's Day, calculated automatically from your device clock.
Does the countdown reset after Mother's Day?
The Mother's Day countdown resets automatically. As soon as Mother's Day has passed, the timer switches to next year's date, so the figure on screen is always the time until the next Mother's Day. It never counts up and never shows a negative number, and the year label beside the headline updates to the new target year.
Is Mother's Day on the same date around the world?
Mother's Day is kept on the second Sunday in May in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan and about 80 other countries, so the date falls between May 8 and May 14. The United Kingdom and Ireland instead keep Mothering Sunday, three weeks before Easter, which usually lands in March. The US observance was founded by Anna Jarvis and made a national holiday by President Wilson in 1914. It is not a public holiday, so shops and offices stay open.
