Palindromic Dates

Roughly three times per decade, the date,
recorded in MM/DD/YYYY fashion,
is palindromic; that is, it reads the same
backwards as forward.
Language palindromes in English include the word radar
and the sentence spoken to Eve: Madam I’m Adam.

Since 2012, there have been three date palindromes:
02/02/2020          12/02/2021          22/02/2022

When’s the next one?

    This one is even more rare (exceedingly so) in that it works with several date-style sequences. The style favored in America (MM/DD/YYYY) is 02/02/2020. The style favored by England and other countries (DD/MM/YYYY) is ALSO 02/02/2020. Even the less popular YYYY/MM/DD is 2020/02/02. THAT combination of palindromes hasn’t happened since 11/11/1111. And it won’t happen for ROUGHLY another 100 years. Which date is THAT?
