When Is Passover 2027? Free Passover Countdown & Days Left

When is Passover 2027?

Begins at sundown before 15 Nisan in the Hebrew calendar (late March or April). Passover (Pesach) remembers the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It lasts seven days in Israel and eight days in most communities elsewhere, and begins with the Seder, a festive meal with the retelling of the story, matzah and four cups of wine.

In 2027, Passover falls on a Wednesday. In 2026 it was on a Wednesday, April 1. In 2028 it will be on a Monday, April 10.

How the Passover date is worked out

The Hebrew calendar follows the Moon for its months and adds a leap month 7 times every 19 years to stay in step with the seasons, so the date moves on the everyday calendar but stays within the same few weeks. Jewish days begin at sundown, so we show the evening it starts. From 2026 to 2055 it falls between March 26 and April 24. How we calculate every date.

How many days until Passover in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Passover, so on the day before it shows 1. The weeks box splits that into whole weeks and days, the weekdays box counts Monday to Friday (useful for work and school planning, though public holidays are not taken out), and sleeps are the nights left. The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Passover in your own time zone.

Is Passover a public holiday?

Not in the US. Passover is not a federal holiday, but many observant Jewish people do not work on it, and some school districts with large Jewish communities close. In Israel it is a public holiday.

Planning tip

The date shown is the evening of the first Seder. Many families clear their homes of leavened bread (chametz) in the days before, so start planning the week ahead.
