How Many Days Until Father's Day 2027?
Father's Day 2027 falls on Sunday, June 20.
The next Father’s Day on our United States anchor calendar is Sunday, 20 June 2027 — the timer below counts down to that third Sunday in June. The comparison table uses the United States third-Sunday-in-June anchor (Sunday, 20 June); other rows follow their own rules, such as Friday, 19 March where Saint Joseph’s Day is honored and Sunday, 5 September in Australia and New Zealand. Only Thailand in our table treats Father’s Day as a nationwide statutory public holiday (Sunday, 5 December). Other entries follow the US third-Sunday-in-June pattern, fixed calendar dates such as Saint Joseph’s Day, or their own national rules — confirm the table for your country before you plan time off.

New ZealandRows marked provisional show only the dates already fixed. Where a government sets the length of the break by annual decree — mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia — the full arrangement has not been published for that year yet, so treat those day counts as a floor and any blank as "not announced", not as a working day.
Planning around the date
For shipping gifts, aim to order about 14 days before the anchor (6 June) so parcels arrive before Sunday 20 June; last-minute digital gift cards only need a few days. For brunch or dinner on the June Sunday anchor, consider booking about 21 days ahead (30 May) if you need a specific time.
If you are planning around Thailand’s December nationwide public holiday instead of the June anchor, ignore the timer above and use that table entry — it is a different date with substitute rules. For the US June anchor it is a Sunday observance without bridge-day arithmetic; where your country marks Father’s Day on a weekday (for example Saint Joseph’s Day), confirm the date in the table before you block time off. Entries for Thailand, China, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia in the table are still provisional — re-check dates before you ship gifts abroad.
