Islamic calendar: key dates for the coming year

The next key dates of the Islamic year, calculated from the Umm al-Qura calendar.

Event Expected date
Ramadan Monday 8 February 2027
Eid al-Fitr Tuesday 9 March 2027
Eid al-Adha Sunday 16 May 2027
Islamic New Year and Ashura Sunday 6 June 2027

These dates are expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar, the calendar Saudi Arabia publishes. A new Islamic month begins when the new moon is sighted, or by calculation, depending on the country and its religious authority. So the start can fall a day earlier or later where you live. Follow your local mosque or national authority for the day you fast and the day you celebrate.
