Thanksgiving in the United States is the fourth Thursday of November. The next Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 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 Thanksgiving in the selected time zone —the fourth Thursday of November. 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 Thanksgiving 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 Thanksgiving passes, the counter moves to the next one.
