New Year Countdown
This New Year countdown shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left until midnight on 1 January, ticking live in your own time zone or in any city you pick. It counts real time, so a clock change before New Year is counted correctly, and it shows when 2027 arrives around the world, from the first places at UTC+14 to the last at UTC−11, with each moment in your own time and which places are already celebrating. Put it on a big screen with full-screen mode for a party, or print a paper chain or tear-off cards with one for each day left, with our own drawings, in colour or as outlines to colour in. When midnight has passed where you are, it says so and starts counting to the next year.
100% private — everything runs in your browser. The countdown and the printables are made on your device; nothing is uploaded.

Everything runs in your browser and only your settings are remembered in this browser. The countdown uses this device’s clock and time zone (or the one you pick) and counts to midnight at the start of 1 January there, so a daylight saving change is counted correctly. The world table works out, for each time zone in our list, the moment its clocks reach midnight, from the time zone rules built into your browser. The chain and card art are our own drawings: print them, use them and give them away. PDF export uses jsPDF and svg2pdf.js (MIT licence).

When does the countdown reach zero?
At midnight at the start of 1 January in the time zone shown: this device’s zone unless you pick another city. Someone in Sydney reaches the New Year hours before someone in London or New York.
Where does 2027 arrive first?
In Kiritimati in Kiribati’s Line Islands, at UTC+14: midnight there is 10:00 UTC on 31 December 2026, which is 5 am in New York. Next come the Chatham Islands (UTC+13:45), then New Zealand, Tonga and Samoa (UTC+13).
Where does 2027 arrive last?
Of the places in our list, American Samoa and Niue, at UTC−11: midnight there is 11:00 UTC on 1 January 2027, 25 hours after Kiritimati.
How many days until New Year?
On Saturday 14 November 2026 there are 48 days to go until New Year’s Day 2027, a Friday. The countdown above always shows the time left from right now.
Does a clock change mess up the countdown?
No. It measures real time to midnight, so a daylight saving change is counted once. In New York, one second before the clocks went back on 1 November 2026 it showed 60 days 23 hours 0 minutes 1 second; one real second later, 60 days 23 hours exactly.
What does it show after midnight?
On 1 January it says Happy New Year and that it is already the new year where you are, while the world table shows which places are still waiting. From 2 January it counts down to the next New Year.
Can I show the countdown full screen?
Yes. Press Full screen under the countdown to fill the screen with large numbers, for a TV, projector or party. Press the button again or Esc to go back.
How do I make a paper chain countdown?
Choose “Paper chain”, download the PDF and print it. Cut out the strips, loop the first one and glue the end, then thread each next strip through and glue it. Tear off one link each day; the numbers count down to 1 on New Year’s Eve.
Is the countdown accurate for my city?
It uses your device’s clock and time zone. If the device clock is wrong, the countdown is wrong by the same amount.
Is my information uploaded?
No. Everything is worked out in this browser, and the files you download are made on your device.
