Countdown to Easter 2027
Count down to Easter Sunday in live days, hours, minutes and seconds. Easter moves each year, so this countdown works out the date for you and ticks down automatically.
Pick any future date and time - Birthdays, holidays, launches, exams - And watch it count down live.
Easter is on Sunday, March 28, 2027. The countdown above is calculated from the target timestamp, so delayed display updates correct when the browser resumes.
Because Easter follows the spring full moon, the date shifts around from late March to April. This countdown handles that maths for you and keeps the egg hunts, the baking and the long weekend in view.

Location note: This page uses Western Easter in the Gregorian calendar; Orthodox Easter may fall on another date.
Western Easter Sunday moves between March and April and is calculated here with the Gregorian computus. Orthodox Easter may use a different calendar and date. The table shows Western Easter; set a custom date when your church, school or local observance follows another calendar.
Why the date moves every year
Easter is the reason this page recalculates rather than pointing at a fixed square on the calendar. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, which is why it can land anywhere from late March to late April. The rule is old, it is arithmetic rather than astronomy, and Western and Orthodox churches apply it against different calendars, so the two dates often differ by weeks.
The practical consequence is that everything hung off Easter moves with it: Lent's forty days, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and in many countries the school holidays. If you are planning travel around it, check the year rather than assuming it sits where it did last time.
Easter Planning Checklist
- Check the moving date
