In the U.S. article, the 2026 date listed for Mother’s Day is May 10.
U.S. Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday in May, so its calendar date changes from year to year. In 2026, the second Sunday falls on May 10. The preceding year’s observance was May 11, 2025, while the following year’s will be May 9, 2027.
The date is sometimes confused with a fixed annual holiday such as Christmas or Independence Day. Mother’s Day was established in its modern American form through Anna Jarvis’s campaign, and Congress designated the second Sunday in May in 1914. The rule—not a permanently fixed date—is what determines each year’s observance.
