When Does Fall 2026 Begin?
Fall 2026 officially starts on September 22, 2026, the day of the autumnal equinox. This is when day and night are nearly equal in length, and the Northern Hemisphere begins its tilt away from the sun. Temperatures start to cool, leaves begin to change color, and the world transforms into a canvas of red, orange, and gold.
Why Fall Is Worth the Wait
Autumn is a season of warmth and comfort despite the cooling temperatures. It brings harvest festivals, Thanksgiving gatherings, football season, hayrides, and the spectacular beauty of changing foliage. There is something magical about watching the leaves turn and feeling the first cool breeze of the season. Setting a fall countdown helps you savor the anticipation of cozy evenings and autumn adventures.
