There's not much time to wait until you can raid in Endwalker

Luckily for raiding fans, you won’t have to wait long for the first one of Endwalker’s raids. The first Normal Difficulty eight-man raid will be released in patch 6.01, preliminarily scheduled for Dec 21, 2021. The Savage Difficulty will release in patch 6.05 on Jan 4, 2022.

Titled Pandaemonium: Asphodelos, the raid looks to be based around fighting a long-forgotten evil. It also may have something to do with a forgotten villain in FFXIV, Lahabrea.

But of course, eight-man raiding isn’t the only Raiding experience in Final Fantasy XIV. The more casual 24-man Alliance raids have been a staple of the game, with the Crystal Tower, Void Ark, Ivalice, and Nier raids being some of the most popular content of past expansions.

Endwalker’s first 24-man raid will release in Patch 6.1. This doesn’t have a definite release date yet but is expected to be in the first quarter of 2021. Titled the Myths of the Realm, like past Alliance raids, it’s sure to offer some incredible gear for glamour-lovers and high-level raiders alike.
