Frequently Asked Questions
Does this countdown use my local time zone?
Yes. The countdown reads the time zone from your device and counts to midnight on January 1, 2027 where you are. The table of cities shows the same moment for 21 other places, with each city's midnight converted to your time.
Why does another countdown show a different time?
Another countdown may count to midnight in a fixed time zone, such as New York or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), or run on a device clock that is a few seconds off. Turn on automatic time on your device so its clock syncs with atomic clocks over the internet, and the countdowns will match to the second.
Does the timer update without refreshing the page?
Yes. The hours, minutes and seconds tick every second, and the day count moves at your local midnight. The page never needs a refresh, even if it stays open on a TV all evening.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
At midnight the countdown shows that New Year's Day 2027 has arrived. From January 2 it starts counting down to January 1, 2028, so the same page works every year.
