About this countdown
Thanksgiving in the United States is the fourth Thursday of November, so the date moves every year. This page works it out and counts the calendar days until then.
- Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday 26 November.
- The Wednesday before is one of the busiest travel days of the year in the US — worth counting separately if you are flying.
- Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October, a different holiday with a different date.

Why does the date change?

How many days until Black Friday?
One more than the number above — Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving.
