When Is Eid al-Fitr 2027? Free Eid al-Fitr Countdown

When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?

The first day of Shawwal, the month after Ramadan, confirmed by moon sighting. Eid al-Fitr, the "festival of breaking the fast", marks the end of Ramadan. Muslims attend special morning prayers, give charity (zakat al-fitr) before the prayer, wear new clothes and share meals with family and friends.

In 2027, Eid al-Fitr falls on a Tuesday. In 2028 it will be on a Saturday, February 26.

How the Eid al-Fitr date is worked out

The Islamic calendar is purely lunar, about 354 days long, so Eid al-Fitr comes around 11 days earlier each year and moves through every season over about 33 years. Each month starts with the sighting of the new crescent moon, so the date we show (from the Umm al-Qura calendar) can move by a day locally. From 2027 to 2030 it falls between February 4 and March 9. How we calculate every date.

How many days until Eid al-Fitr in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Eid al-Fitr, so on the day before it shows 1. The weeks box splits that into whole weeks and days, the weekdays box counts Monday to Friday (useful for work and school planning, though public holidays are not taken out), and sleeps are the nights left. The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Eid al-Fitr in your own time zone.
