Moon phases in February 2026
In February 2026 the full moon falls on 1 February at 22:11 UTC, and the new moon on 17 February. Every night of the month with its phase and how much of the Moon is lit, computed from the same engine the rest of the site runs on.
The exact moments
- Full Moon
- Last Quarter
- New Moon
- First Quarter
Times are UTC. A phase is a moment, not a night: the Moon is “full” at one instant, and looks full for a day either side of it. The live calendar works these out for your own clock and, if you let it, your own horizon.
