Star Wars Day is 4 May, from the pun "May the Fourth be with you". The next Star Wars Day is Monday, May 4, 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 Star Wars Day in the selected time zone —always 4 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 time zone is part of the link, so a countdown shared from one place shows the same hours everywhere. When Star Wars Day passes, the counter moves to the next one.
