Groundhog Day is observed on 2 February in the United States and Canada, best known for the ceremony at Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The next Groundhog Day is Monday, February 2, 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 Groundhog Day = (start of Groundhog Day in the chosen zone − now) ÷ 3,600 s
The countdown targets midnight (00:00) at the start of Groundhog Day in the selected time zone —always 2 February. 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 and Canada rule. Other countries may observe Groundhog 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 Groundhog Day passes, the counter moves to the next one.
