## When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?

Expected date — subject to moon sighting

Tuesday, 9 March 2027

1 Shawwal 1448 AH · 1 Shawwal — end of Ramadan

166 days to go

Eid al-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal, the morning after the last fast of Ramadan. The date is confirmed on
** Monday, 8 March 2027** (29 Ramadan 1448 AH):
if the new crescent is sighted that evening, the next day is Eid; if not, Ramadan completes 30 days and Eid follows the day after.
Some communities follow calculated calendars (such as Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia), others wait for a local sighting — so the day can differ by country.

Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; observance is subject to local moon sighting. Dates reviewed 2026-07-17.

## What time is Eid prayer?

Salat al-Eid is prayed in congregation **20–45 minutes after sunrise**, once the sun has fully risen —
prayer is not permitted at sunrise itself. There is no Adhan or Iqamah. Larger mosques hold several Jamaats through the morning
(commonly every 30–60 minutes between about 7:00 and 11:00), and many communities pray outdoors in a musalla or park.

- Arrive early — the biggest venues fill up 20–30 minutes before the first Jamaat
- Pay Zakat al-Fitr **before** the Eid prayer
- Make ghusl, wear your best clothes, and take a different route home (Sunnah)
- Recite the Eid Takbeer on the way to the prayer ground

## Eid Jamaat times by city

Confirmed congregational times, published as mosques announce them

| City | Mosque / venue | Jamaat times |
| --- | --- | --- |
| No confirmed Jamaat times yet for Eid al-Fitr 2027. Mosques usually announce their Eid congregations in the last days of Ramadan. Global Prayer Times lists times here only after mosques confirm them — we never estimate congregational times. |

## How Eid dates are decided

Islamic months begin with the new crescent moon (hilal). On the 29th night of Ramadan, moon-sighting committees look for the Shawwal crescent
just after sunset. A confirmed sighting means the next day is 1 Shawwal — Eid al-Fitr. No sighting means Ramadan completes 30 days.

Saudi Arabia and some countries follow the calculated Umm al-Qura calendar, while others — including much of South Asia, North Africa and many
Western communities — wait for a physical sighting. That is why Eid can fall on different days in different countries, and why this page says
"expected" until the night of the sighting. Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; observance is subject to local moon sighting.

## What was the date of Eid al-Fitr 2026?

See the [Eid al-Fitr 2026 record](https://globalprayertimes.org/eid-al-fitr-2026/) for the full dated page.

After Eid al-Fitr, the next major celebration is Eid al-Adha — expected Sunday, 16 May 2027 (10 Dhu al-Hijjah 1448 AH).
