The next widely visible supermoon most people are talking about is on 3 January 2026 , when a bright full Wolf Moon will also count as a supermoon.

Next supermoon dates

  • 3 January 2026 – Full “Wolf Moon” supermoon, the first big, bright full Moon of the year.
  • 24 November 2026 – Second full Moon supermoon of the year (often linked with the Beaver Moon).
  • 24 December 2026 – Christmas Eve full Moon that will also be a supermoon, expected to look especially striking.

Best time to watch

  • Check your local moonrise time for those dates; the Moon looks largest and most dramatic when it is low on the horizon just after moonrise.
  • Even though the “super” effect is only a modest size and brightness boost, clear skies and low light pollution make it feel much more impressive.

What counts as a supermoon?

  • 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 around 14% larger and noticeably brighter than average.
  • New Moon supermoons (like 16 May 2026) are not visible, but they still give darker skies that are great for stargazing.
