Do I pray anything before the Eid prayer?

What the Prophet ﷺ did

Ibn Abbas reported that on the day of Eid al-Fitr, the Prophet ﷺ went out and prayed two rak'ahs, and he did not pray anything before them or after them (Sahih al-Bukhari 964). In his time, the Eid prayer was held in an open prayer ground (musalla) outside the mosque, and he went straight into the Eid prayer when he arrived. See How do I pray the Eid prayer?

Don't forget Fajr

Eid morning can be busy and exciting, but Fajr is still an obligatory prayer. Pray it on time, along with its two sunnah rak'ahs before it, then get ready for Eid. The Eid prayer doesn't replace Fajr.

If the Eid prayer is in a mosque

In Europe and the USA, Eid prayers are often held inside mosques, sports halls or community centers. Scholars differ on what to do when you arrive:

• In a mosque: the Shafi'i school and many other scholars say pray two rak'ahs of tahiyyat al-masjid (greeting the mosque) before sitting, since the Prophet ﷺ told people to pray two rak'ahs when they enter a mosque (Sahih al-Bukhari 444). Some Hanafi and Hanbali scholars say it's better not to pray before Eid at all, though a few allow tahiyyat al-masjid.
• In a park, hall or field: there's nothing to pray before. Just sit down and join the takbir.

Either way, nobody should criticize you for following a school's view here.

What to do while you wait

The best use of the waiting time is the Eid takbir: "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahil hamd." It's linked to this verse about completing Ramadan:

Say it quietly or with the crowd until the imam starts. See What is the Eid takbir and when do I say it?

After the prayer

There's no extra prayer after the Eid prayer at the prayer ground either. Stay for the khutbah if you can, then greet people, eat, and enjoy the day. Once you're home, some scholars say praying two rak'ahs there is fine.
