Ramadan 2027 UK Calendar, Dates & Fasting Timings

Ramadan isn't just another month. It's the one Muslims around the world wait all year for.

In Ramadan 2027, Muslims across the UK are expected to begin fasting in early February, when the days are still short and the evenings are cold. The first fast is currently expected on Monday, 8 February 2027, with Ramadan likely ending around 8 or 9 March. The exact dates will depend on the sighting of the new crescent. (MCB)

That makes a reliable Ramadan 2027 UK calendar worth having early.

You can use it to plan Suhoor, Fajr, work, school runs, Iftar, Maghrib and evening prayers without checking the time from scratch every day.

Ramadan 2027 UK Dates at a Glance

The 30th day only applies if Ramadan reaches 30 days.

Current calendar calculations place 1 Ramadan 1448 AH on 8 February 2027 and the 29th day on 8 March.

Ramadan 2027 London Fasting Calendar

The date tells you when Ramadan starts. The daily fasting timetable tells you how each day actually works.

For London, current calculations put the first day's Fajr at 5:34 AM and Maghrib at 5:02 PM. By the 29th day, Fajr moves earlier to 4:40 AM while Maghrib moves later to 5:53 PM.

Here is the London Ramadan calendar with the key fasting times.

Important: These are calculated London prayer and fasting times, not a single timetable for the whole UK. Calculation methods can also produce slightly different times, so always check the timetable followed by your local mosque or Islamic authority. AlAdhan notes that its Ramadan timetable is calculated according to the selected calculation method and local timezone.

How Ramadan Fasting Times Change in the UK

One thing stands out when you look at the calendar from start to finish.

Fajr gets earlier. Maghrib gets later.

On 8 February, a London fast based on these calculated times runs from about 5:34 AM to 5:02 PM.

By 8 March, it runs from about 4:40 AM to 5:53 PM.

So, over the 29-day timetable, the fasting window grows by roughly one hour and 15 minutes.

That change matters when you are planning your routine. A Suhoor that feels manageable in the first week may need a little more thought by the final week, especially if you work early, commute or have children getting ready for school.

And because UK daylight changes quickly around this time of year, it is better to follow the daily timetable than assume the fasting hours will stay the same.

What Time Is Suhoor in Ramadan 2027?

There is a small detail that often causes confusion.

Fajr is not the same thing as Suhoor.

Suhoor is the meal eaten before the fast begins. The fasting cut-off is tied to the beginning of Fajr, so you should leave enough time to finish eating, drinking and preparing before the Fajr time shown by your trusted local timetable.

For example, the calculated London Fajr time is 5:34 AM on 8 February 2027. It then moves gradually earlier throughout Ramadan. (AlAdhan)

If your local mosque publishes an Imsak time, you may see that listed a few minutes before Fajr. Follow the practice and guidance of the mosque or Islamic authority you normally rely on.

What Time Is Iftar in Ramadan 2027?

Iftar begins at Maghrib, when the sun has set.

In the London timetable, Maghrib is expected at 5:02 PM on the first day of Ramadan and around 5:53 PM by 8 March. (AlAdhan)

That nearly one-hour shift makes a difference to daily planning.

If you are arranging an Iftar with family or friends, booking a restaurant, travelling home from work or planning your mosque visit, check the exact date rather than using the same Iftar time throughout Ramadan.

Ramadan Prayer Times Will Vary Across the UK

There is no single Ramadan prayer timetable for the entire UK.

London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford, Glasgow, Leicester and other cities have different sunrise and sunset times. Your local Fajr and Maghrib times can therefore differ from the London figures above.

For example, current Ramadan calculations for Birmingham show different Fajr and sunrise times from London. (AlAdhan)

That is why this page uses London as the detailed calendar example rather than presenting London times as if they apply everywhere.

If you live outside London, check a timetable for your own city and, where possible, compare it with the schedule used by your local mosque.

Ramadan 2027 Calendar for Work, School and Family Planning

A Ramadan calendar is more useful when you actually build your routine around it.

For Muslims living in the UK, the early start to Fajr and changing Iftar time can affect:

• Work and commute schedules

• School and university routines

• Family meals

• Mosque visits

• Travel plans

• Iftar gatherings

• Sleep and rest

• Suhoor preparation

You do not need to plan every minute of the month now.

It helps to know the shape of Ramadan, though.

The first days begin with a later Fajr and earlier Iftar. As the month moves forward, Fajr arrives earlier and Maghrib moves later. That gives you a clear picture of how your daily fasting window will change.

When Does Ramadan 2027 End in the UK?

Starting from 8 February, the 29th day of Ramadan falls on 8 March.

If the new crescent isn't sighted at that point, the month runs a 30th day, ending instead on 9 March. Islamic months naturally run 29 or 30 days, so treat 8 March as the expected end date rather than a fixed one.

Islamic months can contain 29 or 30 days, depending on the lunar month and the method used to determine the new month. (Time and Date)

This is why it is better to treat 8 March as the expected 29th day rather than automatically calling it the final fast.

When Is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in the UK?

If Ramadan runs 29 days, Eid al-Fitr falls around 9 March 2027. If it stretches to 30 days, Eid moves to 10 March.

Most UK calendars currently lean toward 9 March, but the real answer comes down to the Shawwal moon sighting followed by your community, so it's worth keeping both dates in mind until that's confirmed. (Time and Date)

So, if you are planning annual leave, family gatherings or Eid travel, keep both dates in mind until the final announcement.

Why the Ramadan 2027 Dates Can Change

You may see different Ramadan dates on different websites. That does not automatically mean one calendar is wrong.

The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, and different communities take different approaches to confirming a new month. Some rely on local moon sighting, others follow calculated astronomical charts, and some follow the announcement of an established authority. That's why you'll see slightly different dates on different calendars, and it's not that one of them is wrong.

For 2027, 8 February is the widely listed expected start date, but it remains subject to the method and moon-sighting decision followed by the relevant UK community. (MCB)

The same applies at the end of Ramadan.

Use this calendar to plan ahead, but check your local mosque or trusted Islamic authority when Ramadan is actually approaching.
