When does Ramadan 2027 start?

It is expected to start on 7 February 2027 (1 Ramadan 1448 AH) in the calculated calendar, subject to moon sighting, which can move it by a day.

29 or 30 days, depending on the following moon sighting — it ends with Eid al-Fitr.

Why does Ramadan move every year?

The Islamic calendar is lunar, about 354 days long, so Ramadan begins roughly 11 days earlier each solar year and cycles through all seasons over about 33 years.

Ramadan 2027: expected to start on 7 February 2027

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, and 1 Ramadan 1448 AH corresponds to 7 February 2027 in the standard calculated calendar. Because the Islamic year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Ramadan moves earlier each Gregorian year — in 2026 it began on 18 February.

Why "expected"? In many countries the month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon, so the observed start can shift by a day either way depending on the moon and local announcements. Treat 7 February 2027 as the date to plan around, and confirm locally as it approaches. This countdown targets that date using your device clock; after Ramadan begins it rolls to the following year's expected start.
