Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May in the United States and many other countries; the UK observes Mothering Sunday on a different date. The next Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10, 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 Mother's Day in the selected time zone —the second Sunday of May. 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 many other countries rule. Other countries may observe Mother's 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 Mother's Day passes, the counter moves to the next one.
