International Fact-Checking Day 2025

April 2 is International Fact-Checking Day, a global celebration of truth and accuracy. At the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), we honor fact-checkers everywhere who combat misinformation and help protect society. Supporting facts isn’t just a job for professionals; it’s a responsibility we all share. By choosing credible sources, we strengthen public conversations. Because #FactsMatter in creating a more informed and resilient society—not just on #FactcheckingDay, but every day.

The IFCN launched International Fact-Checking Day in 2016 to celebrate the vital work of fact-checkers worldwide and has marked it annually since.

Follow @factchecknet and #FactcheckingDay on social media to join the global conversation every April 2.

As part of this year’s events, the IFCN will present the annual State of the Fact-Checkers report on Monday, March 31, at 10 a.m. Register here for the webinar.
