Ramadan 2027
When is Ramadan 2027? Expected dates and local confirmation
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in early February, with many calendars listing the first fast around 8 February. This is a planning estimate, not a confirmed start for every country or community.

Time and Date lists 8 February 2027 as a tentative Ramadan start in its UK calendar. Other communities may begin on a different local date. Do not treat a forecast or a countdown as an official announcement for Pakistan or anywhere else.
The first night begins at sunset before the first daytime fast. When checking a calendar, distinguish the evening that opens the month from the morning of the first fast. Keep travel, leave and community-event bookings flexible until the local announcement.
Why moon-sighting confirmation matters
Islamic months follow a lunar calendar. Crescent visibility, location and the approach followed by a community can affect the announced start. A calculated forecast helps with preparation but does not replace the authority you normally follow.
In Pakistan, check the announcement of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and trusted local sources. Elsewhere, check your recognised local authority or mosque. Avoid forwarding an undated screenshot as proof that Ramadan has begun.
Keep the end of the month tentative too
Ramadan may have 29 or 30 days. A provisional early-February start points to the fasting month extending into early March, but neither the last fast nor Eid should be announced from this estimate.
If you are organising an iftar, label the date as provisional when needed and tell guests how you will confirm it. Recheck local announcements near the start and end rather than assuming one country's dates apply everywhere.
Find the daily times after choosing your city
The date Ramadan begins and the time each daily fast begins are different questions. Daily sehri and iftar times depend on your location, date and calculation settings; there is no single worldwide fasting timetable.
Open the times tool or city directory below. Select your city and the date you need, then compare the calculation method with your local mosque. The default view shows the current date, not automatically the first day of Ramadan 2027.

Frequently asked questions
Is 8 February 2027 the confirmed first day of Ramadan?
No. It is a commonly listed tentative date. Confirm the first fast with the local moon-sighting authority or community you follow.
Will Ramadan 2027 start in mid or late February?
Current planning calendars point to early February, around 8 February, rather than mid or late February. Local confirmation is still required.
Does knowing the start date tell me my sehri and iftar times?
No. Use your own city, local date and calculation method to find the daily Fajr and Maghrib timings, and compare them with trusted local guidance.
