Morocco is expected to announce Eid al-Fitr around Thursday, March 19, 2026 , after the moon-sighting attempt, and the holiday itself is currently forecast for Saturday, March 21, 2026. Public reports also note that Morocco has declared Monday, March 23, 2026 as an exceptional holiday for state administrations after Eid.

What this means

  • The official announcement usually comes after sunset moon sighting.
  • This year, astronomers and recent reports point to no crescent sighting on March 19, which would make Eid fall on March 21.
  • There can still be a final official confirmation from Moroccan authorities, so the exact announcement time may vary slightly.

In plain terms

If you’re asking “when will Morocco announce Eid?”, the practical answer is likely the evening of March 19, 2026. If you want, I can also give you the expected Eid date in Morocco versus nearby countries.
