When is ANZAC Day 2027?
ANZAC Day 2027 is on Sunday, 25 April 2027 — Sunday. That is 165 days from today (11 November 2026) — 23 weeks and 4 days, or about 5.4 months. It is a Australia observance.
How the countdown is worked out
The countdown is the number of days from today to the holiday's date: Sunday, 25 April 2027 minus 11 November 2026 is 165 days. The count is in calendar days — it counts the days you have to wait, not the number of midnights, and it does not count today. The countdown timer recomputes the number live, second by second, and the days until calculator does the same calculation for any date you choose. If the holiday is in a different time zone from you, the day starts at a different moment — but the date is the date, and the countdown is in days, so the time zone does not change the number.
What is ANZAC Day?
ANZAC Day, 25 April, remembers the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who landed at Gallipoli in 1915, and all who have served since. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
How ANZAC Day is observed
Dawn services are held at war memorials, followed by marches and the playing of the Last Post. It is a public holiday in Australia and New Zealand.
How the date is worked out
ANZAC Day is on the same date every year — April 2027 — so the date never moves. The only thing that changes is the day of the week: ANZAC Day 2027 is a Sunday, ANZAC Day 2028 is a Tuesday.

ANZAC Day 2027 in the calendar
ANZAC Day 2027 is the 115th day of 2027 — a year of 365 days — and it falls in ISO week 16 of the year. There are 250 days left in the year after it, and 30 days in April 2027. In the Northern Hemisphere it is spring; in the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are reversed.
The week number matters more than people think: in business and government across Europe, dates are often given as week numbers, and the week number finder gives the ISO week for any date. The day-of-year number is used in astronomy, in logistics and in some payroll systems. And the days-left figure is the useful one for planning the rest of the year: after ANZAC Day 2027 there are 250 days — 35 weeks — left in 2027.
Planning for ANZAC Day 2027
165 days is 5 months — plenty of time to plan. If ANZAC Day means travel, book it now: fares and hotels are usually cheapest months in advance, and the popular dates sell out. If it means time off work, put the request in early, especially if the holiday falls on a weekday — Sunday is a working day for most people, so the day off needs to be booked. And if it means gifts or preparations, the countdown is long enough that a little planning each week is worth more than a rush in the last few days.
ANZAC Day 2027 falls on a Sunday — a weekend day — so most people get the day without taking time off. The practical effect is that the celebrations spread across the weekend, and the Friday or Monday around it is often taken as well — so if you are booking travel, the whole weekend is the busy period, not just the day itself.
The countdown in other units
The countdown to ANZAC Day 2027 is 165 days — which is 23 weeks and 4 days, 3960 hours, 237,600 minutes, or about 5.4 months. Of those 165 days, 117 are weekdays and 48 are weekend days — so if you are counting working days, there are 117 of them left before the holiday. The days between dates calculator works out the same numbers for any two dates, and the business days calculator counts the working days excluding public holidays.
ANZAC Day around the world
As an Australian observance, this day is a public holiday in Australia (and, for ANZAC Day, in New Zealand as well).
