Ramadan 2027 Calendar: Starts Feb. 8, Eid al-Fitr March 9, With Suhoor and Iftar Times and Free Printables

Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on Monday, Feb. 8, 2027 and to last 29 days, ending with Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday, March 9. The first taraweeh prayer is on the evening of Sunday, Feb. 7. Those dates come from the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) calculated calendar and match Saudi Arabia’s Umm al-Qura calendar. Mosques that wait for a local moon sighting announce their own dates and may celebrate Eid on March 10.

Ramadan 1448 belongs to the year 1448 anno Hegirae (AH), counted from the Prophet Muhammad’s migration to Medina. Because the Islamic calendar follows the moon, Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier each year. In 2026 it began on Feb. 18. In 2027 it begins ten days sooner.

Why Feb. 8 and not Feb. 7

The new moon that ends Sha’ban arrives on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2027, the same day as an annular solar eclipse visible from South America and West Africa. A crescent only a few hours old cannot be seen that evening. That is why calculated calendars put 1 Ramadan on Monday, Feb. 8, after Sha’ban completes 30 days.

At least one calendar site lists Feb. 7 as the start. Treat that as a misreading of the night: the first taraweeh is on Feb. 7, but the first fast is Feb. 8.

Suhoor and iftar times for Ramadan 2027

Suhoor ends at Fajr, the dawn prayer, and iftar is at Maghrib, just after sunset. The times below use the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, a common default in U.S. prayer apps, which places Fajr and Isha at 15 degrees below the horizon.

City	First fast, Feb. 8: suhoor ends	Iftar	Length
New York	5:42 a.m. EST	5:22 p.m.	11 h 40 min
Chicago	5:37 a.m. CST	5:15 p.m.	11 h 38 min
Houston	6:00 a.m. CST	6:05 p.m.	12 h 05 min
Los Angeles	5:34 a.m. PST	5:30 p.m.	11 h 56 min
Dearborn, Mich.	6:20 a.m. EST	5:56 p.m.	11 h 36 min

Days grow longer as the month goes on. In New York, suhoor ends 38 minutes earlier on the last fast (5:04 a.m. on March 8) and iftar comes 33 minutes later (5:55 p.m.), so the final fast is about 12 hours 51 minutes. Every day of Ramadan stays on standard time, since U.S. clocks do not spring forward until Sunday, March 14, 2027.

Many mosques set suhoor a few minutes before the calculated Fajr as a margin. Your local masjid’s timetable is the one to follow. The full New York timetable, with all six daily times for each of the 29 days, is in the downloads.

The last ten nights and Laylat al-Qadr 2027

The last ten nights of Ramadan begin at sunset on Saturday, Feb. 27. Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, is sought in the odd nights among them. An Islamic night comes before its day, so each odd night starts on the evening of an even-numbered fasting day.

Night	Begins at sunset on
21st	Saturday, Feb. 27
23rd	Monday, March 1
25th	Wednesday, March 3
27th	Friday, March 5
29th	Sunday, March 7

Mosques usually hold their largest gathering of the month on the 27th night. Worshippers who make i’tikaf, a retreat in the mosque, begin it on the evening of Feb. 27.

Eid al-Fitr 2027

Eid al-Fitr marks 1 Shawwal 1448 and is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027. The Eid prayer is held in the morning, usually between 30 minutes and an hour after sunrise, and zakat al-fitr is due before it. Where Ramadan runs a full 30 days, Eid moves to Wednesday, March 10.

How we checked these dates

We compared three calendars: the FCNA calculated calendar followed by mosques across North America, the Umm al-Qura calendar published in Saudi Arabia, and the AlAdhan calendar service. All three give 1 Ramadan 1448 as Feb. 8 and 1 Shawwal as March 9, 2027. Prayer times were calculated for each city with the ISNA method and rounded to the minute. Moon-sighting committees announce their decisions on the evening of the 29th day of the month before: around Feb. 6 for Ramadan and March 8 for Eid.
