You can watch the Hajj 2026 rites live from Makkah through several free platforms — from the official Saudi Quran TV YouTube channel to dedicated streaming websites. With the Hajj season beginning on 25 May 2026, here’s where to tune in.
Hajj 2026 Key Dates
The core days of Hajj 1447 AH fall between 25 and 30 May 2026, subject to official moon-sighting confirmation by Saudi authorities on 16 May.
- Day of Tarwiyah (8 Dhul Hijjah) — Monday, 25 May 2026
- Day of Arafah (9 Dhul Hijjah) — Tuesday, 26 May 2026
- Eid al-Adha (10 Dhul Hijjah) — Wednesday, 27 May 2026
- Days of Tashreeq (11–13 Dhul Hijjah) — 28–30 May 2026
These are the days when live coverage intensifies — particularly the standing at Arafah, the stoning of the Jamarat, and the Eid prayer from Masjid al-Haram.
Where to Watch the Hajj Live Stream
Multiple platforms carry the live broadcast from Makkah‘s holy sites. All of them are free and require no subscription.
Saudi Quran TV (Official)
The Saudi Quran TV channel, operated by the Saudi Broadcasting Authority, is the primary official source for live coverage from Masjid al-Haram. It broadcasts the five daily prayers, Friday khutbahs, and — during Hajj season — the full rites from Arafah, Mina, and Muzdalifah.
You can watch it via:
- The Aloula.sa website (Saudi Broadcasting Authority’s official streaming platform)
- The KSA Quran TV YouTube channel, which streams Masjid al-Haram 24/7
Dedicated Streaming Websites
Several websites aggregate the Saudi TV feeds and offer 24/7 HD streaming with no sign-up required:
- MakkahLive.net — streams from Masjid al-Haram, Masjid an-Nabawi, Quran TV, and Sunnah TV. Plays directly in any browser on phone, tablet, or desktop.
- Makkah.live — 24/7 HD streams from both Makkah and Madinah, with dedicated Hajj-season coverage of Arafah and the holy sites.
- IslamicFinder — live Hajj transmission alongside prayer times and a Hajj guide.
Mobile Apps
The Makkah Live TV HD app on Google Play lets you watch on the go. The KSA Quran TV YouTube streams also work natively in the YouTube app on both Android and iOS.
What You Can Watch Live
During Hajj, the Saudi broadcast covers the key rites as they happen:
- Tawaf al-Qudum (arrival tawaf) at the Kaaba
- The standing at Arafah and the Arafah sermon
- The overnight stay at Muzdalifah
- The stoning of the Jamarat at Mina
- The Eid al-Adha prayer from Masjid al-Haram
- Tawaf al-Ifadah and Sa’i
Outside Hajj season, these same channels continue streaming the daily prayers and Quran recitations from both Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah year-round.
