Quick Answer

A palindrome date reads the same forward and backward once the digits are written in the selected date format without separators.

How to Find Palindrome Dates

  1. Choose a date format and year length.
  2. Select whether you want the next palindrome dates or a full range search.
  3. Enter the start date, and optionally an end date or count.
  4. Review the matching dates and their digit pattern.

Formula

Date string = DDMMYYYY or MMDDYYYY

Palindrome test = date string equals reversed date string

Worked Examples

Example 1: 2020-02-02 can be a palindrome in MMDDYYYY format.

Example 2: 2030-03-02 may be a palindrome depending on format choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
