What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?
$ hugo version
hugo v0.161.1+extended+withdeploy openbsd/amd64 BuildDate=2026-05-11T00:14:36Z VendorInfo=OpenBSD
Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?
This hugo is built with -X github.com/gohugoio/hugo/common/hugo.buildDate=... which is very usual.
Unfortently but buildDate is propagated only to version string, and inside template hugo.BuildDate is empty.
