About the Eid countdown
How many days until Eid? This page counts live to the next Eid, on the clock of your own device: days, hours, minutes and seconds. The next one is Eid al-Fitr 2027, expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, and then Eid al-Adha 2027, expected on Sunday, May 16, 2027.
There are two Eids each year. Eid al-Fitr ends the fasting month of Ramadan. Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, comes about 70 days later, at the time of the Hajj. By default the board counts to whichever comes first, and on the days of Eid it says "Eid Mubarak".

When is Eid?
The dates come from the Umm al-Qura calendar, which Saudi Arabia uses. In many countries the month starts when the new crescent moon is seen, so Eid can be one day later where you live. Your local mosque announces the final date.
| Islamic year | Eid al-Fitr (1 Shawwal) | Eid al-Adha (10 Dhu al-Hijjah) |
|---|---|---|
| 1447 AH | Fri, Mar 20, 2026 | Wed, May 27, 2026 |
| 1448 AH | Tue, Mar 9, 2027 | Sun, May 16, 2027 |
| 1449 AH | Sat, Feb 26, 2028 | Fri, May 5, 2028 |
| 1450 AH | Wed, Feb 14, 2029 | Tue, Apr 24, 2029 |
| 1451 AH | Mon, Feb 4, 2030 | Sat, Apr 13, 2030 |
| 1452 AH | Fri, Jan 24, 2031 | Wed, Apr 2, 2031 |
Each Eid comes about 11 days earlier every year, because the Islamic year has about 354 days. Eid al-Adha always comes about 70 days (two Islamic months and nine days) after Eid al-Fitr.
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
- Eid al-Fitr — "the festival of breaking the fast", on the first day of Shawwal, right after Ramadan. People pray the Eid prayer in the morning, give zakat al-fitr to the poor before it, wear new clothes, visit family and give children money or gifts. Many countries have a holiday of 3 days.
- Eid al-Adha — "the festival of the sacrifice", on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day after pilgrims stand at Arafah during the Hajj. Families share meat with relatives and people in need. The feast lasts 4 days in many countries. In South Asia it is also called Bakra Eid or Eid ul-Adha.
Six styles
- Eid night — a deep purple night sky with golden stars
- Green and gold — rich green with a fine gold star pattern
- Eid sweets — soft pink and peach with sugar dots
- Mosaic — blue tiles with gold dots
- Eid morning — the light blue sky of the morning Eid prayer
- Minimal — plain and clean, in your page's light or dark colors

Frequently asked questions
How many days until Eid?
The big numbers at the top of this page show it, live, on your own clock. By default they count to the next Eid, al-Fitr or al-Adha, whichever comes first.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?
Eid al-Fitr 2027 (1448 AH) is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, the day after the last fast of Ramadan. Where the moon must be seen, it can be March 10.
When is Eid al-Adha 2027?
Eid al-Adha 2027 is expected on Sunday, May 16, 2027. The Day of Arafah is the day before, Saturday, May 15. Some countries can celebrate one day later.
Why are the dates "expected"?
An Islamic month begins with the new crescent moon. Some countries use a calculated calendar, like Umm al-Qura, and others wait until the moon is seen. Clouds or the moon's position can move the start by one day, so the final date is only sure a day or so before.
How long does Eid last?
Eid al-Fitr is one day in the Islamic calendar, but most countries celebrate for 3 days. Eid al-Adha is celebrated for 4 days, until the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The board shows "Day 2", "Day 3" and so on during those days.
Can I count down to Ramadan instead?
Yes — use the Ramadan Countdown. It counts to the first day of fasting and shows which day of Ramadan it is.
