when is the next super moon

The next easily visible Super Full Moon will be on December 24, 2026 (Christmas Eve) in UTC-based calendars.

Quick Scoop

• The next Super Full Moon on global calendars is on 24 December 2026 (UTC).

• Some astronomers list three supermoons in 2026: January 3 , November 24 , and December 24 , because the Moon is especially close to Earth at those full Moons.

• If you include New Moon supermoons, the next Super New Moon (not visible but still “super”) is on May 16, 2026 (UTC).

Why dates differ

• “Supermoon” is not an official scientific term; different sources use slightly different distance cutoffs, so some count only December 24, 2026, while others also include January 3 and November 24.

• A widely used public reference highlights 24 December 2026 as the next Super Full Moon, which is why that date often appears as the answer to “when is the next supermoon.”

What a supermoon is

• A supermoon happens when a full (or new) Moon occurs near the Moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit (perigee), making it appear up to about 14% larger and 30% brighter than a distant full Moon.

• To the naked eye the size difference is modest, so the main appeal is having an especially bright, photogenic full Moon, especially when it rises near the horizon over landmarks.

TL;DR: Mark your calendar for 24 December 2026 (UTC) for the next widely listed Super Full Moon, with additional “supermoon” full Moons on January 3 and November 24, 2026 in some astronomical calendars.
