Ramadan 2027 Dates: When Does Ramadan Start, Calendar & Key Nights
Published October 10, 2026 · Updated October 10, 2026 · By EventBuzz Team
Families start planning for Ramadan months ahead, arranging leave, menus, charity and nights of prayer around one gentle month. For 2027 the expected dates are set out below in one simple calendar, so you can plan with confidence while remembering that the Islamic calendar moves with the moon. When the month arrives, send a thoughtful greeting from our Ramadan Mubarak Wishes 2027 collection.
Why the Dates Are Expected, Not Final
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar, which follows the lunar cycle. A new month begins when the crescent moon is sighted after sunset, usually announced by national moon sighting committees and local mosques. Because sighting depends on weather, location and local practice, neighbouring countries can begin a day apart. Every date on this page is therefore marked as expected, and final dates are confirmed by the sighting of the moon.
Ramadan 2027 Calendar Overview
Based on the expected start, the month would run as follows. If the moon is sighted a day earlier or later in your country, every date below shifts by that same day.
- Expected first roza: Monday, February 8, 2027 in most countries; Tuesday, February 9, 2027 in Pakistan.
- Expected Fridays in Ramadan: February 12, February 19, February 26 and March 5, 2027.
- Expected last ten nights begin: Around February 27 to 28, 2027, depending on your start date.
- Expected 27th night window: Approximately March 6 to 7, 2027, moon sighting dependent.
- Expected end of Ramadan: Around March 8 to 9, 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr.

Key Nights to Prepare For
Every night of Ramadan carries reward, but the last ten nights hold a special place because Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power, is sought among them. Many families plan lighter work, extra charity and family prayer time for this final stretch. Our Laylatul Qadr guide explains the signs, duas and what to do on those nights.
- Odd nights to seek Laylatul Qadr: The 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights, expected from late February to around March 8, 2027.
- Most widely observed: The 27th night, expected around March 6 to 7, 2027, though the exact night is not known for certain.
- Taraweeh prayers: Begin the night before the first fast and continue through the month at most mosques.
How to Use This Calendar
Use the expected dates to request leave, plan community iftars and prepare your home, then confirm the final start with your local announcement on the evening before. When Ramadan ends, the celebration of Eid al-Fitr follows; see our Eid al-Fitr 2027 date guide for the expected Eid window and how the Shawwal moon sighting works.
