What Is World Basketball Day?

World Basketball Day is the United Nations–recognized global observance that celebrates the sport’s power to unite communities, inspire youth, and promote health and education. The date honors the first game devised by Dr. James Naismith and the YMCA in 1891. You can read the UN observance note here for context and history (highly recommended): United Nations — World Basketball Day.

• Builds excitement as the seconds tick down to tip-off.

How Our Live Timer Works

Our online clock updates in real time. The moment you open the page, it calculates the precise difference between “now” and December 21st 2025 and renders a dynamic countdown. As midnight passes in your local time zone, the timer automatically moves to the following year’s observance, so it’s always relevant. You don’t have to refresh or do any manual math—just glance and go.
