When Is the Next Solar Eclipse?
The next Solar eclipse will occur on 6 February 2027.
The next Solar eclipse on Earth is not always the next one visible from where you are. Eclipse visibility depends on your location, so the dates below answer both questions: when the next eclipse occurs anywhere in the world, and when you can see one from your selected location.
The Next Solar Eclipse
The next eclipse worldwide is a Annular Solar eclipse on 6 February 2027. During an annular solar eclipse, the Moon passes in front of the Sun but appears too small to cover it completely, leaving a bright ring around the Moon. The card below shows the event timing, phases, visibility area and other details.
Worldwide, the eclipse begins at 6 February 2027, 12:59 (GMT+0), reaches its greatest phase at 6 February 2027, 16:01 (GMT+0), and ends at 6 February 2027, 19:02 (GMT+0). At maximum, up to 86% of the Sun’s disk is covered. These are global circumstances: the times and coverage at your location can differ.
