Use same date and time format as in my computer's settings
Many people like to use English as their display language, but get confused with the US date format: 11/06 is October 6 in the US, but June 11 in many other countries. Why not display the date according to the setting in Windows?
Same goes for time, of course, where many use 24 hour format instead of am and pm.

Pretty sure I found the manual way of addressing this issue: Settings in your profile icon top right, "General" > "Language" > "App language....". Changed this from USA to NZ and now my planner tasks are in the correct date format.
Hope this helps someone.
This worked for me - thanks so much!

Hello,
Is there a way to get my calendar out of military time and into a 12 hour format on Microsoft teams? If so, how?

Why is such a simple setting 'still on the backlog' YEARS later?? This is beyond idiotic ...

i also found that changing the settings in my profile to something else and back to uk worked for me too.

As an Aussie user, this is VITAL. Please update the priority of this suggestion.

crazy that this isn't an option in planner, where dates are kind of intrinsic to the product. I can change date formats EVERYWHERE else. Oh the irony.

Time and date format should be capable of being set to country and user preferred format and align with office365 profile. This is a nightmare! We don't all subscribe to US formats, nor the 24 hour clock.

Someone rally the troops to get this basic capability in before 9/9/2020! Please. 2+ years is long enough.

Yes, this is very confusing, and I have missed deadlines because of it showing the date in a format never used in my country. is 5-6 May 6 or June 5? Obviously June 5 if just reading the date not knowing that it is a faulty format from Teams Planner.

I am relatively new to MS Teams and I am really surprised and annoyed that I cannot get the 24 hour time and the date format I am used to.

I understand that Teams is relatively new, but what a rocket science is required to set date and time as per user's desire or request?

Our organisation switch to Teams on Monday and management is promoting us to use everything as possible in Team. My jaw is still on the ground, we want 12hrs times and Aust dates, surly this isn’t rocket science

This is a major bug, probably easy to fix.

Still US only date & time formats for an app in 21 century - UNBELIEVABLE !!! - MS guys, how on earth can you be so thridworldish ! - Guys you must fix that right away, is only 10 minutes of coding and would make the app much better by far, bumping into those careless coding every now and then is what keeps lots of users away from you

This is basic and should not be an issue. I'm fed up being confused with this awful American way of formatting a date. The order is DAY, MONTH, YEAR irrespective as to how you may articulate it. Fix this and fix it now! Mind you they cannot get it thru there heads how to spell correctly either, so why are we nor surprised.
