Hajj 2026 Live Stream: How To Watch Muslim Pilgrimage To Mecca from Anywhere [VIDEO]

Hajj 2026 is here with a live stream service for Muslims worldwide. The annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is taking place between Monday (May 25) and Friday (May 30) in the Gregorian Calendar. Every year, the dates vary depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.

As the fifth pillar of Islam, it is mandatory for all adult Muslims to perform this religious duty at least once in their lifetime. People who are physically and financially incapable of this journey are exempt from this religious duty. According to media reports, around two million Muslims are expected to gather at the holy pilgrimage, while many individuals will follow the rituals from their homes.

Many Muslims from diverse regions stay connected to Mecca to keep up with the live proceedings and support their loved ones. Several people find it challenging to be spiritually soaked in blessings through live telecast due to time zone differences and changing telecast links. Here is a complete guide on Hajj 2026, featuring official livestream channels, apps, and key ritual dates.

Hajj 2026 live streaming is available worldwide on the official YouTube channels of Saudi Quran TV and Makkah Live. Several international news agencies and channels, including the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, also provide live updates on the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

The religious duty is performed every year in the last month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah. It takes place over five to six days between the 8th and the 13th day of the Islamic month. During this time, adult Muslims perform several rituals and rites at the holy mosque, Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
