Days Until Friday
The countdown to the weekend, updated live.
The most-asked countdown question of them all. This page counts to the next Friday — midnight at the start of it, in your time zone — and when Friday arrives it says so instead of skipping ahead to next week.
For the precise-minded: the count rolls over at midnight, so on Thursday evening it reads "1 day" until the stroke of twelve, at which point it becomes Friday and the panel celebrates accordingly. The hours-and-minutes line below the big number is for the true clock-watchers.
Frequently asked questions
What does it show on a Friday?
It says it is Friday rather than counting 7 days to the next one — that is the answer people actually want on a Friday.
Why Friday and not Saturday?
Because "days until Friday" is the question people ask — Friday evening is the psychological start of the weekend even though Saturday is the first non-working day. The maths for any other weekday is one field away in our general countdown tool.
Does it count working days?
No — it counts calendar days to the next Friday. On a Monday it reads 4 days, which happens to equal the working days left after today; on a Sunday it reads 5.
