Full moon calendar 2026 — every date, with its name

How to read this calendar

The full moon is a single worldwide instant; only its clock time changes with your time zone. When that instant falls near midnight, the calendar date itself can shift by one day depending on where you live — which is why serious calendars always state their time zone. The table above switches to yours automatically.

Each date links to the story of that month's named moon — where the name comes from, what the almanacs made of it, and the engraving Plenilune drew for it.

A year in the almanac

Twelve lunations do not quite fill a year — the synodic month lasts 29.53 days — so the dates drift earlier from month to month, and some years count thirteen full moons. When two of them fall in the same calendar month, the second is popularly called a blue moon; the table marks it when 2026 has one. The Moon will not look blue: the phrase is calendar folklore, not optics.
