When Is Ramadan 2027? Free Ramadan Countdown & Days Left

When is Ramadan 2027?

Begins with the new crescent moon of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar (about 11 days earlier each year). Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, pray and give to charity. It lasts 29 or 30 days and ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr.

In 2027, Ramadan falls on a Monday. In 2028 it will be on a Friday, January 28.

How the Ramadan date is worked out

The Islamic calendar is purely lunar, about 354 days long, so Ramadan 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 January 5 and February 8. How we calculate every date.

How many days until Ramadan in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Ramadan, 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 Ramadan in your own time zone.

Is Ramadan a public holiday?

No. Ramadan is a month of fasting, not a holiday. Work and school go on as normal, though many Muslim-majority countries shorten working hours during the month.

Planning tip

The dates shown are the expected first day of fasting. The official start is confirmed by moon sighting, so it can move by a day or two depending on where you live and which authority your community follows.
