Good Friday 2027 is still ahead. It falls on Friday, 26 March 2027, 210 days after 28 August 2026. This page is kept whichever side of today the date falls on: the date and the rule behind it are worth looking up either way. For the year after this one see Good Friday 2028, and for every year we have a page for see all holiday countdowns.
Good Friday 2027 is Friday, 26 March 2027
There are 210 days between 28 August 2026 and Good Friday, which falls on Friday, 26 March 2027. That is exactly 30 weeks, or 142 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2027-03-26 in ISO form and 3/26/2027 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 12 of 2027, and it is day 85 of 365.
How the date of Good Friday is decided
The Friday before Easter Sunday, so it is two days before Easter and follows the same computus.
That makes it a computed date: there is no fixed day and no simple weekday rule, so it has to be worked out from a formula or a calendar of its own each year. In 2027 it works out as Friday 26 March.
Good Friday is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.

Both the date and the weekday move, because the rule is not tied to either.
Every convention used above — whether the start date counts, how month ends are clamped, which holidays close an office — is written out on the methodology page, including how we count the 142 working days above.
