🧧 232 days until Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year falls on Saturday, February 6, 2027 in your local time.
Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, is the most important holiday in the Chinese calendar and is widely observed across East and Southeast Asia. It marks the first day of the lunisolar year, the second new moon after the winter solstice, so it falls between 21 January and 20 February. Each year is associated with one of the twelve zodiac animals. Celebrations run for days and include family reunions, red envelopes, fireworks, and feasting. This countdown computes the date with the lunisolar calendar engine shipped on the site, the same one powering the Chinese calendar tools.
Date rule: First day of the first lunar month — the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb.
The next Chinese New Year is Saturday, February 6, 2027 — in 233 days. The countdown at the top of this page updates every second in your own time zone, so the number stays accurate wherever you are reading from. Because Chinese New Year is treated as an all-day calendar date rather than a fixed clock time, the countdown rolls over at midnight in your local zone, not at midnight UTC. If you are coordinating across regions, set reminders against this date and let each person's device localise it.
This year the holiday lands on a Saturday, which means it falls on a weekend — many workplaces that observe it grant a substitute day off on the nearest weekday instead. Across the next five occurrences listed below, Chinese New Year touches 5 different weekdays and lands on a weekend 2 of those 5 years — useful when you are planning travel, time off, or a recurring event around it.
Chinese New Year belongs to the chinese calendar tradition. First day of the first lunar month — the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
