Eid 2026 Dates
Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha are the two major Islamic festivals. Eid ul-Fitr (1 Shawwal) marks the end of Ramadan fasting, while Eid ul-Adha (10 Dhul-Hijjah) coincides with Hajj and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice.
This page converts the expected Hijri dates for both Eids in 2026 to Gregorian dates using the Umm al-Qura astronomical calendar, and shows a live countdown to each.
Important: Islamic months begin with crescent moon sighting (rukyah). Actual Eid dates may differ by one day across countries — always confirm with your local mosque or moon-sighting committee.
