Date picker excluding past repeater fields

Hi, hope someone can help on this.

I’m using a date picker in a repeater to show events and want to not show events that are before the current date.

I’ve got the date to show by using the CreateFromFormat within the repeater, but need to figure out an if statement that excludes past entries.

Everything I’ve found refers to excluding dates from a post loop and not in a repeater, so a little stumped. This is my code for showing the date.

<?php if( have_rows('academy_dates') ): ?>
			<?php while( have_rows('academy_dates') ): the_row();

				// vars

				$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('j F, y',           get_sub_field('date'));
				$date_day = $datetime->format('j');
				$date_month = $datetime->format('F');
				$date_year = $datetime->format('y');
				$month = get_sub_field('month');
				$location = get_sub_field('location');
				$title = get_sub_field('title');
				$content = get_sub_field('academy_description');

				?>

				<div class="academy-date">
					<div class="academy-date-inner">
						<div class="date"><?php echo $date_day; ?></div>
						<div class="month"><?php echo $date_month; ?> '<?php echo $date_year; ?></div>
						<div class="divider-line"></div>
						<div class="academy-title"><?php echo $title; ?></div>
						<div class="location"><i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i> <?php echo $location; ?></div>
						<div class="description"><?php echo $content; ?></div>
					</div>
				</div>

			<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Aaron

Is this a date or a date/time field?

// date field
if (have_rows('academy_dates')) {
  while (have_rows('academy_dates')) {
   the_row();
   $raw_date = get_sub_field('date', false);
   $today = date('Ymd');
   if ($raw_date < $today) {
     // skip it
     continue;
   }
   // the rest of your code here....
  } // end while
} // end if

// time field
if (have_rows('academy_dates')) {
  while (have_rows('academy_dates')) {
   the_row();
   $raw_date = date('Ymd', get_sub_field('date', false);)
   $today = date('Ymd');
   if ($raw_date < $today) {
     // skip it
     continue;
   }
   // the rest of your code here....
  } // end while
} // end if
