Live countdown to Eid ul Adha 2026 — updated every second
Days remaining
Eid ul Adha 2026 is expected to fall on approximately Wednesday, June 17, 2026, subject to the official moon sighting of the crescent moon for Dhul Hijjah. It is observed on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah — the final month of the Islamic lunar (Hijri) calendar — and coincides with the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar and approximately 10–12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, Eid ul Adha moves roughly 10–12 days earlier each year, cycling through all seasons over approximately 33 years.

Eid ul Adha 2026 is expected to fall on approximately Wednesday, June 17, 2026, subject to official moon sighting confirmation. The exact date may vary by 1–2 days depending on your country and local religious authority.
Eid ul Adha is based on the Islamic lunar (Hijri) calendar, which is approximately 10–12 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar. This means Eid ul Adha moves about 10–12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar, cycling through all seasons over roughly 33 years.
Eid ul Adha is celebrated for 3 days — from the 10th to the 12th of Dhul Hijjah. In many Muslim-majority countries it is a public holiday for all three days. The first day is considered the most important.
Eid ul Fitr marks the end of Ramadan (the fasting month) and is the Festival of Breaking the Fast. Eid ul Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice and coincides with Hajj. Eid ul Adha is generally considered the greater of the two Eids and lasts 3 days.
Muslims celebrate with special congregational prayers (Salat ul Eid), Qurbani (ritual animal sacrifice of goat, sheep, cow or camel), distributing meat equally among family, neighbours and the poor, wearing new or best clothes, exchanging greetings of "Eid Mubarak", giving gifts, and spending time with family.
Approximate dates: 2026 — June 17 · 2027 — June 7 · 2028 — May 26 · 2029 — May 15 · 2030 — May 5. All dates are subject to official moon sighting and may vary by 1–2 days.
