Hi,

I want to check if it possible to read date and time of the day using Circuit Playground Classic?

Thanks.

Not from the board itself. It doesn't have any kind of real-time clock.

You can connect an external RTC, and for timekeeping over intervals longer than a few minutes the DS3231 will probably be the best choice:
