About this tool
The Mother's Day Countdown shows exactly how much time is left until Mother's Day, updating in real time.
When is Mother's Day?
This calculator counts down to the second Sunday of May, which is when Mother's Day is observed in the United States and many other countries. Some countries celebrate it on a different date — for example, the UK observes "Mothering Sunday" on a different date tied to the Christian calendar — so check your local observance if you're outside the US.
What is Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is a holiday honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood and maternal bonds, typically marked with cards, gifts, or family gatherings.
Why use a countdown?
A live countdown gives you a clear amount of lead time to plan a gift or celebration rather than realizing the date has snuck up on you.
