Eid al-Fitr in 2026 is expected to fall on Friday, 20 March 2026 in most calendars, with some sources also noting the evening of Thursday, 19 March 2026 as the start of the celebration, depending on local moon sighting.

Because the exact day of Eid al-Fitr always depends on the sighting of the new moon of Shawwal , many Islamic organizations advise checking with your local mosque or national Islamic authority closer to the time for the final confirmed date in your country.

In practical terms: you can plan for Friday 20 March 2026 as Eid al-Fitr in 2026, but be ready for some communities to begin their Eid night from Thursday 19 March 2026 after sunset due to the lunar calendar and local sighting differences.
