(This is an archived page about the total solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur in Fort Worth, Texas. The entire sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area spreads out from the western limit of the eclipse path all the way to the centerline, offering residents and visitors plenty of places to view totality. For Fort Worth itself, the city is located relatively close to the western edge of the eclipse path but still far enough inside for totality durations to break the 2-minute mark in some parts of Cowtown. Downtown Fort Worth will get about 2 minutes and 33 seconds of totality, with durations decreasing as you go north and west and with a few areas outside the path of totality in the far northwestern part of the city. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in Fort Worth for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
