In 2027 it falls on a Saturday; in 2028 it’s on Sunday 6 February, and in 2029 on Tuesday 6 February. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens.

From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
