Palindrome Dates in 2027 and the Next Ones in Every Format, to 2040

In 2027 no date is an 8-digit palindrome, but 11 days of July 2027 read the same both ways in the US short form M/D/YY, from 7/2/27 to 7/29/27, according to our calculation at Fresh Calendars. The next 8-digit palindrome date is Sunday, Feb. 3, 2030 (03022030, day first); the next in US form is Saturday, March 2, 2030. Below is every format to 2040 and a free printable.

Every date here was computed by Fresh Calendars: we wrote each date in each format, removed the slashes or dashes and reversed the digits. No outside source prints these dates.

Which dates in 2027 are palindromes?

None in the 8-digit forms. The year 2027 reversed is 7202, which is not a valid month and day in either order, so MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD (International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8601, which the ISO help page describes as “YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day)” and our ISO 8601 guide) all come up empty.

The short US form gives July 2027 its run. Written as M/D/YY with no leading zeros, July 2 is 7/2/27 (7227) and July 20 to 29 are 7/20/27 to 7/29/27, for example 7/22/27 (72227).

Date	Weekday	M/D/YY	Digits
July 2, 2027	Friday	7/2/27	7227
July 20, 2027	Tuesday	7/20/27	72027
July 21, 2027	Wednesday	7/21/27	72127
July 22, 2027	Thursday	7/22/27	72227
July 23, 2027	Friday	7/23/27	72327
July 24, 2027	Saturday	7/24/27	72427
July 25, 2027	Sunday	7/25/27	72527
July 26, 2027	Monday	7/26/27	72627
July 27, 2027	Tuesday	7/27/27	72727
July 28, 2027	Wednesday	7/28/27	72827
July 29, 2027	Thursday	7/29/27	72927

Day-first readers get one: 7/2/27 in D/M/YY is Sunday, Feb. 7, 2027. The same digits, 7227, give two different days depending on which number is the month.

What are the next palindrome dates in each format?

The table lists the next dates after 2027, up to 2040, with the digits that make them palindromes. The next 8-digit date in any of these formats falls in 2030.

Format	Next dates to 2040
MM/DD/YYYY (US, 8 digits)	Saturday, March 2, 2030 (03022030); Monday, April 2, 2040 (04022040)
DD/MM/YYYY (day first, 8 digits)	Sunday, Feb. 3, 2030 (03022030); Thursday, Feb. 13, 2031 (13022031); Monday, Feb. 23, 2032 (23022032); Saturday, Feb. 4, 2040
YYYY-MM-DD (ISO, 8 digits)	Saturday, March 2, 2030 (20300302); Monday, April 2, 2040 (20400402)
MM/DD/YY (6 digits)	Monday, March 11, 2030 (031130); Friday, March 22, 2030 (032230); Wednesday, April 11, 2040; Sunday, April 22, 2040
DD/MM/YY (6 digits)	Sunday, Nov. 3, 2030 (031130); Thursday, Nov. 13, 2031 (131131); Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2032 (231132); Sunday, Nov. 4, 2040

Because 03/02/2030 reads the same in both orders, March 2, 2030 in US form and Feb. 3, 2030 in day-first form share the digits 03022030.

Which short-form palindrome days come after July 2027?

The short forms without leading zeros come back every year, and the month matches the last digit of the year: July for 2027, August for 2028, September for 2029.

Year	M/D/YY (US)	D/M/YY (day first)
2028	Aug. 2 and Aug. 20 to 29	8 Feb
2029	Sept. 2 and Sept. 20 to 29	9 Feb
2031	Jan. 3, Jan. 30, Jan. 31	13 Jan, 13 Feb, 1 Mar, 13 Mar, 13 Apr and every other 13th of a one-digit month to 13 Nov
2032	Feb. 3	23 Jan, 23 Feb, 2 Mar, 23 Mar and every other 23rd of a one-digit month to 23 Sept, plus 23 Nov

For 2033 to 2039 the US short form falls on the 3rd, 30th and 31st: Mar. 3, 30 and 31, 2033; Apr. 3 and 30, 2034; May 3, 30 and 31, 2035; June 3 and 30, 2036; July 3, 30 and 31, 2037; Aug. 3, 30 and 31, 2038; Sept. 3 and 30, 2039. In 2026 the run was June 2 and June 20 to 29, and 6 Feb in day-first form.

How do you check a palindrome date yourself?

1. Pick a format, such as MM/DD/YYYY.
2. Write the date in it and remove the separators: 03/02/2030 becomes 03022030.
3. Reverse the digits: 03022030 reversed is 03022030.
4. If both strings match, the date is a palindrome in that format.

Leading zeros decide the result. 7/22/27 works as five digits (72227), while 07/22/27 gives 072227, which reverses to 722270 and fails.
