What is Today's Date in Numbers?

Today's date in numbers is:

  • MM-DD-YYYY:
  • DD-MM-YYYY:
  • YYYY-MM-DD:

It's also common to see dates represented using numbers separated by slashes.

  • MM/DD/YYYY:
  • DD/MM/YYYY:

The most common format used in the United States is the MM-DD-YYYY (or MM/DD/YYYY) format, or month-day-year in numbers, while the rest of the world commonly uses the DD-MM-YYYY (or DD/MM/YYYY) format.[1]

This can introduce some confusion when reading a date; for instance, is 03-04-2025 March 4th or April 3rd? To reduce confusion, the International Organization for Standardization defines the YYYY-MM-DD format as part of the ISO-8601 date standard.[2] Therefore, this date could be unambiguously written as 2023-04-03, which represents April 3rd, 2023.
