Eid-ul-Adha 2026 (Bakra Eid) falls on 10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH — expected around late May 2026 in Pakistan, calculated from the tabular Islamic calendar and confirmed closer to the date by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.
⚠ This is a calculated estimate. Pakistan's official Eid-ul-Adha date depends entirely on the moon-sighting announcement from the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and can move by 1–2 days.

Eid-ul-Adha ("Festival of Sacrifice"), also called Bakra Eid, is one of the two major Islamic festivals, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. It falls on 10 Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar, and coincides with the culmination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah.
Qurbani can be performed over three days — 10, 11 and 12 Dhul Hijjah (extending to the 13th in some jurisprudence) — with the meat traditionally divided between family, friends, and those in need.
The exact Gregorian date of Eid-ul-Adha in Pakistan is confirmed by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, based on the sighting of the moon marking the start of Dhul Hijjah. Because this depends on physical moon sighting, the final date can differ from calculated estimates like the one on this page by a day or two.
Eid-ul-Adha 2026 is expected around late May 2026, on 10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH — the official date will be confirmed by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee closer to the date.
The matching desi (Nanakshahi) date for the expected Eid-ul-Adha day is shown live in the panel at the top of this page.
Eid-ul-Adha celebrations and Qurbani typically continue for three to four days, from 10 to 13 Dhul Hijjah.
Pakistan confirms the date through its own local moon sighting via the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which can fall a day apart from Saudi Arabia's own announcement.
