When is Passover 2028?
Passover 2028 is on Tuesday, 11 April 2028 — Tuesday. That is 517 days from today (11 November 2026) — 73 weeks and 6 days, or about 17.0 months. It is a Jewish observance. Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed.
How the countdown is worked out
The countdown is the number of days from today to the holiday's date: Tuesday, 11 April 2028 minus 11 November 2026 is 517 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 Passover?
Passover (Pesach) is the Jewish festival commemorating the Exodus, when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. It begins on 15 Nisan, and Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed.
How Passover is observed
Families hold a seder meal with symbolic foods, read the Haggadah and eat matzah instead of bread for seven or eight days. It is a public holiday in Israel.
How the date is worked out
Passover is a moveable observance: its date changes from year to year. The table below gives the dates for 2026, 2027 and 2028, so you can see the pattern — and for planning more than a year ahead, use the days until calculator with the date for the year you need.

Passover 2028 in the calendar
Passover 2028 is the 102nd day of 2028 — a leap year of 366 days — and it falls in ISO week 15 of the year. There are 264 days left in the year after it, and 30 days in April 2028. 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 Passover 2028 there are 264 days — 37 weeks — left in 2028.
Planning for Passover 2028
517 days is 16 months — plenty of time to plan. If Passover 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 — Tuesday 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.
Passover 2028 falls on a Tuesday — a weekday — so most people need to take the day off to mark it properly. Book the time off early, especially if the holiday is one people travel for: the days around a weekday holiday are among the busiest travel days of the year, and the fares rise as the date approaches.
The countdown in other units
The countdown to Passover 2028 is 517 days — which is 73 weeks and 6 days, 12408 hours, 744,480 minutes, or about 17.0 months. Of those 517 days, 369 are weekdays and 148 are weekend days — so if you are counting working days, there are 369 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.
Passover around the world
As a Jewish observance, this day follows the Hebrew calendar, and Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date listed. It is a public holiday in Israel, and in other countries it is observed by Jewish communities — with time off work depending on the employer and the country. The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar, so the Gregorian date moves from year to year.
