How Many Days Until Thanksgiving?
In the United States, Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November, which makes Thanksgiving 2026 land on November 26, 2026. This page shows exactly how many days until Thanksgiving 2026 are left right now, down to the second. Whether you're planning travel, booking time off work, or getting the holiday meal organized, the live timer above always reflects the correct number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining.
Unlike Christmas or Halloween, Thanksgiving doesn't fall on a fixed calendar date every year — it moves with the weekday rule instead. That makes it easy to lose track of exactly how much time is left to prepare. Once Thanksgiving has come and gone, this countdown automatically resets to next year's date, so the page never goes stale — and Black Friday, the day right after, is just one click away.
