2026 will enjoy a Blue Moon.
www.rte.ieHere’s the latest on the next full Moon in 2026.
- The next full Moon in 2026 is on May 31, 2026, at roughly 01:46 UTC (which is around 9:46 PM local time on May 31 in the Americas, depending on your time zone). This Moon is often referred to as the Flower Moon in some traditions.[1][4]
- Following that, the next notable full Moons in 2026 include August 28 (Sturgeon Moon), September 26 (Harvest Moon), October 25/26 (Hunter’s Moon in many regions), and November 24 (Beaver Moon).[2][3][4][5]
- For a complete list of all full Moons in 2026 with exact times in UTC and commonly used names, you can consult dedicated lunar calendars (e.g., Moon phases resources and astronomy sites) which provide the full year’s schedule and visibility notes for your location.[6][1]
If you’d like, I can tailor a short list for Edison, NJ (Eastern Time) with local rise/set times and best viewing windows for each full Moon. I can also generate a quick printable calendar snippet showing just the 2026 full Moon dates and optimal viewing times. Would you like that?
