Random Date Generator

This tool generates random dates one at a time so you can practice calculating the day of the week for each one. To learn the technique, read our guide on how to calculate the day of the week.

By default all weekday answers use the Gregorian calendar, even for dates before the historical switchovers, because that is the standard convention in memory sports. Answers for older dates can therefore differ from historical Julian records. The Calendar setting can switch to Julian weekdays for dates before the October 1582 changeover or before the September 1752 changeover in Britain and its colonies.
