Canada Day is 1 July, the anniversary of Confederation in 1867 and a national holiday in Canada. The next Canada Day is Wednesday, July 1, 2026. The counter above shows the exact hours until it begins, at midnight (00:00) in your time zone.
How this is calculated
The countdown targets midnight (00:00) at the start of Canada Day in the selected time zone —always 1 July. That wall-clock time is resolved to an absolute instant, the current instant is subtracted, and the result is shown in hours. Working in absolute time means an interval that crosses a daylight saving change is an hour longer or shorter than the calendar suggests, and the number here reflects that.
The date follows the Canada rule. Other countries may observe Canada Day on a different day.
The time zone is part of the link, so a countdown shared from one place shows the same hours everywhere. When Canada Day passes, the counter moves to the next one.
