About Valentine's Day 2027

Valentine's Day is 14 February every year and in 2027 lands on a Sunday. A weekend Valentine's tends to shift spending from weekday dinners toward longer plans and short breaks, and restaurants typically extend bookings across the whole weekend.

The day is named for Saint Valentine, though the historical record is thin and at least two early martyrs share the name. Its romantic associations are largely medieval: Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls in the 1380s is the earliest surviving link between the date and courtly love, and the exchange of cards became widespread in Britain in the nineteenth century once printing and postage made it cheap.

It is now one of the largest annual occasions for flowers, chocolate and greetings cards worldwide, and by some measures the single busiest day of the year for restaurant reservations.

The countdown runs to midnight UTC at the start of 14 February 2027.
