How to Edit an Event on Facebook

Last Updated: November 21, 2020

This wikiHow teaches you how to edit an event on Facebook using the desktop website on your computer as well as the mobile app. When you create an event, you have the opportunity to create that event for your personal account or a Page you manage, but you can edit either using the same methods.

Method 1 of 3:

Using a Computer

1
Go to https://www.facebook.com in a desktop web browser. You'll be able to edit an event that you've created for your personal account or your Facebook Page similarly using this method.
2
Sign in to your account. If you need to edit an event that was created for a Page, you'll need to click the downwards-pointing arrow that you see next to the question mark icon and click your page's name.

Click Events. You should see this in the vertical menu on the left side of the page. If you're using a personal account, you'll see "Events" listed under the "Explore" header.

Hover your mouse over More and click Edit Event. You'll find this button to the right of the event's name.
- If you don't immediately see your event, scroll down to find the "Upcoming Events" header and click Edit next to your event.

Edit the event. In the "Edit Event" window that pops up, you can change the event photo or video, name, type, format, location, and other details.
- Clicking through the fields will give you a prompt on how to make changes. For example, you can type a Facebook profile's name to add them as a Co-host (with the ability to make edits as well).

- Tapping through the fields, like "Co-hosts" and "Category," will prompt you for the associated information. For example, when you tap on the "Co-hosts" field, you'll see a list of your friends that you can make co-hosts. Select as many here as you like, then tap Done.
