Days Until New Year
New Year’s Day is January 1, the first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.
About the date
The countdown runs to midnight at the start of January 1 where you are — the moment New Year’s Eve ends. Open it full screen for a party countdown.
The year does not turn everywhere at once: places just west of the International Date Line in the Pacific reach midnight first, and the new year then moves west across the globe over about 26 hours.
In New York, a lit ball has been lowered in Times Square at midnight since the celebration welcoming 1908.
