Today is Friday 7 August 2026 and Mother's Day is Sunday 9 May 2027. Subtracting one calendar date from the other gives 275 days.
That count treats both as calendar dates and does not count today, which is what almost everyone means by "days until". Counting today as well gives 276. Measuring the clock time still to run gives 274 days plus the hours on the readout, because part of today has already gone.
All three are correct answers to slightly different questions, and it is exactly why pages ranking for this search return numbers that differ by one or two. The readout names the basis it used and the control under it changes both.
Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May in most countries. The UK and Ireland keep Mothering Sunday instead, three weeks before Easter.
Two different holidays, not two names for one
Most countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and India, keep Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, which this year is Sunday 9 May 2027.
The United Kingdom and Ireland keep Mothering Sunday instead. It is the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter, which this year puts it on Sunday 7 March 2027, 63 days apart from the May date.
Because it is tied to Easter it moves by more than a month across the years, while the May date can only move by six days. A countdown that shows one of them is wrong for half its readers, so both are given here.
How this date is set
The United States, Canada, Australia, India and most of Europe hold Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. The United Kingdom and Ireland instead keep Mothering Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is three weeks before Easter Sunday and therefore usually falls in March. They are different holidays with different origins, not two names for one date.
