CURRENT_DATE (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server 2025 (17.x) Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance SQL database in Microsoft Fabric

The CURRENT_DATE Transact-SQL (T-SQL) function returns the current database system date as a date value, without the database time and time zone offset. CURRENT_DATE derives this value from the underlying operating system on which the Database Engine runs.

Note

SYSDATETIME and SYSUTCDATE have more precision, as measured by fractional seconds precision, than GETDATE and GETUTCDATE. The SYSDATETIMEOFFSET function includes the system time zone offset. You can assign SYSDATETIME, SYSUTCDATETIME, and SYSDATETIMEOFFSET to a variable of any of the date and time types.

This function is the ANSI SQL equivalent to CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE). For more information, see GETDATE.

Note

Azure SQL Database and SQL database in Microsoft Fabric support changing the default time zone from universal coordinated time (UTC). If you modify the time zone at the database or session level, this function returns local time based on the configured time zone value. For more information, see ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION and SET TIME ZONE.

See Date and time data types and functions for an overview of all the Transact-SQL date and time data types and functions.

Syntax

CURRENT_DATE

Arguments

This function takes no arguments.

Return types

date

Remarks

Transact-SQL statements can refer to CURRENT_DATE anywhere they can refer to a date expression.

CURRENT_DATE is a nondeterministic function. Views and expressions that reference this column can't be indexed.

Examples

These examples use the system functions that return current date and time values, to return the date, the time, or both. The examples return the values in series, so their fractional seconds might differ. The actual values returned reflect the actual day / time of execution.

A. Get the current system date and time

SELECT SYSDATETIME(),
       SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(),
       SYSUTCDATETIME(),
       CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
       GETDATE(),
       GETUTCDATE(),
       CURRENT_DATE;

Here's the result set.

SYSDATETIME()        2026-09-01 16:15:37.7418724
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()  2026-09-01 16:15:37.7418724 -06:00
SYSUTCDATETIME()     2026-09-01 22:15:37.7418724
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP    2026-09-01 16:15:37.740
GETDATE()            2026-09-01 16:15:37.740
GETUTCDATE()         2026-09-01 22:15:37.740
CURRENT_DATE         2026-09-01

B. Get the current system date

The following example shows you how to convert date and time values to the date data type.

SELECT CONVERT (DATE, SYSDATETIME()),
       CONVERT (DATE, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()),
       CONVERT (DATE, SYSUTCDATETIME()),
       CONVERT (DATE, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
       CONVERT (DATE, GETDATE()),
       CONVERT (DATE, GETUTCDATE()),
       CURRENT_DATE;

Here's the result set.

SYSDATETIME()        2026-09-01
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()  2026-09-01
SYSUTCDATETIME()     2026-09-01
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP    2026-09-01
GETDATE()            2026-09-01
GETUTCDATE()         2026-09-01
CURRENT_DATE         2026-09-01
