When is World Prematurity Day?
World Prematurity Day is Sunday, November 15, 2026, on the World Health Organization’s calendar. Older calendars often show November 17, the traditional date. The day raises awareness of preterm birth and the care and support needed by babies and their families.
Use WHO’s November 15 date; a local organizer may schedule its own event on another day.

How is this countdown calculated?
It counts the difference between calendar dates, rather than complete 24-hour periods. The initial reference is UTC; choose “My local date” to use the date on your device. It refreshes while this page is open.
This countdown uses the published date for this occurrence. A future year is not guessed when the date passes.
