How is the ‘Īd prayer performed, and what is its ruling in each school?

From the Sabīl library · scholarly review pending

Each answer is an entry of the Sabīl library, shown word for word with its sources. Nobody wrote it for the question, and no machine wrote, shortened or reworded it: the question was matched to the entry that answers it. The library’s scholarly review is still pending. Where the schools differ, the entry says what each holds. For a ruling on your own circumstances, ask a scholar.

06The ‘Īd prayer

Two rak‘ahs, prayed in congregation after the sun has risen the height of a spear and before it reaches its zenith. No adhān, no iqāmah, and no voluntary prayer before or after it in the place of prayer.

Bukhārī, Muslim · ṣaḥīḥ

Its ruling

Ḥ — wājib on those obliged to pray Jumu‘ah.

Ḥb — farḍ kifāyah upon the community.

M, S — a confirmed sunnah, strongly urged.

What is recited

Al-A‘lā in the first rak‘ah and al-Ghāshiyah in the second; or Qāf and al-Qamar. Recited aloud.

Qur’ān · Sūrah 87 Qur’ān · Sūrah 88 Qur’ān · Sūrah 50 Qur’ān · Sūrah 54

Muslim · ṣaḥīḥ

The khuṭbah

Delivered after the prayer, unlike Jumu‘ah, and it is not a condition of its validity. Listening to it is recommended, and one who leaves is not sinful.

Bukhārī, Muslim · ṣaḥīḥ; Abū Dāwūd, Nasā’ī · ṣaḥīḥ

Prayed in an open place outside the town where possible, as was his ﷺ practice — even the women and young girls were brought out, and those excused from prayer sat apart and witnessed the good.

This is what the library says in general. It is not a ruling on your own case: for that, ask a scholar.
