🐑 330 days until Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha falls on Saturday, May 15, 2027 in your local time.
Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is the holier of the two main Islamic festivals, commemorating Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It falls on the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah, the final month of the Hijri calendar, coinciding with the climax of the Hajj pilgrimage. The celebration involves communal prayer and the symbolic sacrifice of livestock, with the meat shared among family, neighbours, and the poor. As a lunar date it shifts earlier each Gregorian year. This countdown uses the Umm al-Qura calculation shipped with the site.
Date rule: Tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah, the 12th Hijri month.
The next Eid al-Adha is Saturday, May 15, 2027 — in 331 days. The countdown at the top of this page updates every second in your own time zone, so the number stays accurate wherever you are reading from. Because Eid al-Adha is treated as an all-day calendar date rather than a fixed clock time, the countdown rolls over at midnight in your local zone, not at midnight UTC. If you are coordinating across regions, set reminders against this date and let each person's device localise it.
This year the holiday lands on a Saturday, which means it falls on a weekend — many workplaces that observe it grant a substitute day off on the nearest weekday instead. Across the next five occurrences listed below, Eid al-Adha touches 5 different weekdays and lands on a weekend 1 of those 5 years — useful when you are planning travel, time off, or a recurring event around it.
Eid al-Adha belongs to the islamic calendar tradition. Tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah, the 12th Hijri month. Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
