Independence Day is 4 July, the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and a federal holiday in the United States. The next the Fourth of July is Saturday, July 4, 2026. The counter above shows the exact hours until it begins, at midnight (00:00) in your time zone.
How this is calculated
hours until the Fourth of July = (start of the Fourth of July in the chosen zone − now) ÷ 3,600 s
The countdown targets midnight (00:00) at the start of the Fourth of July in the selected time zone —always 4 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 United States rule. Other countries may observe the Fourth of July 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 the Fourth of July passes, the counter moves to the next one.
