Days until Father's Day
Live countdown to Father's Day - the third Sunday of June. Exact days, hours, and minutes remaining.
How Father’s Day is worked out
In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and many other countries, Father’s Day is the third Sunday of June, which puts it between June 15 and June 21. To find it, take the first Sunday of June and add 14 days. The counter above does exactly that and counts to 00:00 on that Sunday in your local time zone, then moves to next year once the day begins.
Not everyone uses June. Australia and New Zealand celebrate on the first Sunday of September, and a number of countries use other dates. This page counts to the June date.
