Labor Day is the first Monday of September in the United States and Canada. The next Labor Day is Monday, September 7, 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 Labor Day in the selected time zone —the first Monday of September. 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 Labor 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 Labor Day passes, the counter moves to the next one.
