About count2time
count2time.com is a free website that tells you how long is left until a date. You can create your own countdown and share it with a link, or check the countdowns for thousands of public events —holidays, matches, races, elections, festivals and releases— in 10 languages.
Who is behind it
count2time is an independent project by Pablo Gutiérrez, based in Spain. It does not belong to any company or to the organisers of the events it shows.
Where the dates come from
Public event dates come from open and official sources:
- Public holidays: Nager.Date, an open database of official public holidays in more than 100 countries.
- Matches: the official schedules published by the leagues themselves, such as the NHL and MLB.
- Formula 1: Jolpica, the open database that continues the historic Ergast.
- Elections, festivals, MotoGP and video games: the dates announced by organisers, electoral authorities or studios, checked by hand before they are published.
Every event page links to its source. Dates are updated regularly: if an organiser changes a date, the countdown is corrected in the next update.
How the countdown is calculated
Events with a fixed time —a match, a race or the opening of polling stations— are shown converted to your time zone. Holidays that arrive at midnight in each country, such as Christmas or New Year, count down to midnight in your local time.
Your countdowns
No sign-up is needed. When you create a countdown we only store the title, date and description you write, so the link works on any device. Anyone with the link can see it.
How it is funded
count2time is free and is supported by advertising. Ads have no influence on the dates or on which events appear.
