Days Until Memorial Day
The countdown to Memorial Day is already selected. You get the days left, the weeks and days, and the hours and minutes. This year Memorial Day is on Monday, May 25, 2026. Memorial Day is the last Monday of May, always a Monday. Once it has passed, the count turns to next year.
Your numbers
How we calculate it
The countdown is the number of days from the date you count from (today by default) to the next Memorial Day. If the date has already passed this year, it points to next year.
Memorial Day falls on the last Monday of May. The calculator works the date out from that rule for each year, so it stays right as the years change.
Dates of Memorial Day for the next five years: Monday, May 25, 2026; Monday, May 31, 2027; Monday, May 29, 2028; Monday, May 28, 2029; Monday, May 27, 2030.
Assumptions and limits
- The countdown is in whole days, from midnight to midnight, not to the hour.
- Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday and, because it is set as the last Monday of May, it always falls on a Monday (5 U.S.C. 6103).
- Change the "Count from" date to count from any other day, or switch the event to your own date.
