How many days until Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day falls on February 14, so the countdown above rolls over to next year automatically the moment this year's Valentine's Day passes — it will never show a negative number.
The big number is the count of whole days from today until Valentine's 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
Valentine's Day is always February 14, so the countdown is a straight run to that fixed date each year — only the weekday shifts.
Valentine's Day falls on February 14 every year. The counter at the top of the page shows the exact number of days until the next February 14, updated live. Below it, a timer counts down the remaining hours, minutes and seconds.
What day of the week is Valentine's Day this year?
Valentine's Day falls on February 14 every year. The weekday therefore changes from year to year. The date line under the headline shows the full weekday and date of the upcoming Valentine's Day, calculated automatically from your device clock.
Does the countdown reset after Valentine's Day?
The Valentine's Day countdown resets automatically. As soon as Valentine's Day has passed, the timer switches to next year's date, so the figure on screen is always the time until the next Valentine'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.
Where does Valentine's Day come from?
Valentine's Day, on February 14, is named for one or more early Christian martyrs called Valentine, and was first linked with romantic love in the 14th century in Geoffrey Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls. The custom of exchanging written valentines spread in 18th- and 19th-century Britain and was industrialised by cheap mass printing. It is not a public holiday anywhere, so shops, schools and offices stay open. It is now marked across much of the world with cards, flowers and chocolate.
