Moon phases in July 2026
In July 2026 the full moon falls on 29 July at 14:37 UTC, and the new moon on 14 July. 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

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.
