Eid al fitr 2026 is ready read the true announcement here
What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr is a special occasion for Muslim and is a time for celebration with family and loved ones. Eid ul Fitr marks the end of the month of Ramadan, a period of month-long fasting for Muslims around the world, and the start of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar.
There are two days out of the year dedicated to a celebration called Eid, in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar. Eid ul-Fitr occurs at the end of the month of Ramadan each year, and Eid al-Adha, which occurs on the 10th, 11th and 12 of Dhul Hijjah, last month of the Islamic year.
When is Eid al-Fitr in 2026?
Eid al-Fitr 2026 will fall on Friday 20th March 2026, following the sighting of the moon.
Whether you are celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Friday or Saturday, at Islamic Relief UK we wish everyone celebrating this joyous occasion a wonderful Eid Mubarak!
Unlike the Gregorian calendar we use today, the Islamic calendar operates on the lunar cycle. This means that all significant days in the Islamic calendar appear to shift forward approximately 11 days each year. Therefore, the sighting of the moon determines the end of the month-long period of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid.
As with each day in the Islamic calendar, the next day begins after Maghrib prayer (just after sunset) of the same day. Eid begins after the moon has been sighted. Therefore, the last day of fasting ends at Maghrib.
"Islam Channel is pleased to announce that the new crescent moon has not been sighted and, therefore, Eid al-Fitr will be celebrated on Friday 20th of March. This also marks the first day of the month of Shawwal 1447 AH.
May Allah (SWT) accept our worship this Ramadan.
Islam Channel, our charity partners and sponsors wish the Muslim ummah a happy, safe and blessed Eid al-Fitr.
Thank you for sharing Ramadan with us. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to inspire and entertain you throughout the holy month.
We hope you and your family will join us on Eid day for an exceptional day of programming, including live salah from Makkah and Madinah and the Big Eid Show live from 6pm.
From the Islam Channel family to yours, Eid Mubarak!"
