YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.
Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

Canada threw up their hands and said, "Fuck it, I don't care, use whatever date format you like."
We are ridiculously inconsistent in Canada. I've seen all 3 of the most popular formats here (2023-11-22, 11/22/2023, and 22/11/2023) in similarish amounts. Government forms seem to be increasingly using RFC 3339 dates, but even they aren't entirely onboard.
