When Is Ramadan? 2027 Dates and Home Preparation Guide

Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on Monday, 8 February 2027. The first suhoor falls on the night of Sunday 7 February, and Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday, 9 March 2027. These dates come from astronomical calculation; the crescent moon sighting in your own country can move the first day by one day either way.

This is a permanent page and we update it every year. Below you will find the 2027 calendar, the outlook through 2032, and — from our own order records — the weeks in which households actually get their homes ready.

Ramadan 2027 key dates

Ramadan 2027 will run either 29 or 30 days depending on the moon sighting, so Eid may land on 9 or 10 March. Plan family gatherings around the earlier date and you will not be caught out.

Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr dates through 2032

If you are booking travel, planning a wedding around the month, or simply want to know when Ramadan lands in a few years, here is the outlook. All dates are calculated, not sighted.

2030 is the year to watch. Ramadan falls twice inside the same Gregorian year — once in early January and again from late December. Households that decorate for Ramadan will be doing it twice in twelve months.

Why the dates move about eleven days each year

The Hijri calendar is lunar. Twelve lunar months come to 354 or 355 days, roughly eleven days short of the 365-day Gregorian year, so Ramadan walks backwards through the seasons and completes a full circuit about every 33 years.

Right now the month is moving out of late winter and into the depth of winter: February in 2027, January by 2029, December by 2031. For anyone in the northern hemisphere that means shorter daylight hours through the month, and for the home it means Ramadan increasingly overlaps with the darkest evenings of the year — which is part of why lighting has become such a large share of what people set up.

When households actually prepare: what our order data shows

We can answer the “when should I get ready?” question with something better than a guess. Across our Ramadan range, 1,171 orders were placed between mid-December 2025 and late March 2026. Ramadan 2026 began on 18–19 February. Here is how those orders were distributed:

Two things stand out. First, nearly two thirds of the whole season is concentrated into four weeks. Second, the drop is abrupt: the week containing the first fast took 230 orders, and the following week took 72 — a fall of 69% in seven days. Once the month has begun, people stop buying decor and start using it.

What that means for 2027. With the first fast on Monday 8 February, the equivalent window is 11 January to 7 February 2027. If you want your home ready before the first iftar, that is the month to order in — and the earlier half of it is calmer, better stocked, and safer for anything personalised.

Getting the home ready

Most homes build up the same three layers: something on the wall, something on the table, and something for the children to count the days with.

Walls. The living room wall carries the most weight, and the piece you hang there will stay up for the whole month. Our Ramadan home decor range covers this layer; a metal lantern panel for the living room wall and a crescent and star piece for a hallway or console are the two shapes people reach for first.

The table. Iftar happens at the same table thirty nights running, so this is where small pieces earn their keep. A date holder set for breaking the fast, a three-tier stand for dates and sweets when guests come, or a marble crescent tray that works year round. The full iftar and suhoor table collection is here.

Children. Countdown calendars and activity pieces are in the kids and family range. These sell out earliest in the season — order them in January, not February.

For gifts, whether for the start of the month or for Eid, the Ramadan gifts collection is sorted by recipient. Everything seasonal sits together in Ramadan and Eid decorations.

Frequently asked questions

Is 8 February 2027 confirmed?

It is the calculated date, and three independent astronomical sources agree on it. The religious start is confirmed by moon sighting, announced by national authorities a day or two beforehand, so the first fast may be 8 or 9 February depending on where you are.

Why does my country start a day later than my relatives abroad?

Because the crescent becomes visible at different times around the world, and because countries differ on whether they follow local sighting, regional sighting, or calculation. A one-day difference between families in different countries is completely normal and happens most years.

How many days will Ramadan 2027 last?

Twenty-nine or thirty, decided by the sighting at the end of the month. Counting from 8 February, a 29-day month ends with Eid on 9 March and a 30-day month on 10 March.

When should I start decorating?

Our own orders point to the four weeks before the first fast, which for 2027 means from 11 January. Start at the beginning of that window rather than the end — personalised and made-to-order pieces need the lead time, and the popular items thin out in the final fortnight.

When is Ramadan in 2028?

Friday, 28 January 2028, with Eid al-Fitr expected on Saturday, 26 February. This page is updated with the confirmed calendar each autumn.
