First Day of Spring 2027 falls on Saturday, March 20, 2027 — a Saturday. That is 148 days from today. The date is confirmed, so the only thing that moves is the countdown itself.
| Year | Date | Day of week |
|---|---|---|
| 2027 | Sat 20 Mar 2027 | Saturday |
| 2028 | Mon 20 Mar 2028 | Monday |
| 2029 | Tue 20 Mar 2029 | Tuesday |
| 2030 | Wed 20 Mar 2030 | Wednesday |
| 2031 | Thu 20 Mar 2031 | Thursday |
| 2032 | Sat 20 Mar 2032 | Saturday |
Why the day of the week moves
A date advances by one weekday each year, because 365 days is 52 weeks plus one day. In a leap year it advances by two, which is why the weekday occasionally jumps. Over the six years in the table above you can watch both patterns: the single-step years and the leap-year double step.
This matters more than it sounds if you are planning around a weekend. An event that lands on a Saturday this year may fall midweek in two years' time, which changes everything from travel to time off.
About First Day of Spring 2027
The march equinox of 2027 falls on March 20, 2027 at 20:23 UTC — the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (autumn below the equator).
Astronomically, this is the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading north — autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also the day the tide of daylight turns: after the March solstice the change is barely minutes per week, then accelerates — the reason the weeks after a solstice feel darker (or lighter) faster than the solstice day itself.
