Eid al-Fitr (1 Shawwal)
Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, with the first Taraweeh prayer on the evening of Tuesday, 17 February 2026. These dates follow the Umm Al-Qura calendar used in Saudi Arabia. Because each Islamic month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon, Ramadan may start one day later in countries that rely on local moon sighting, such as Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Always confirm the start with your local mosque or moon-sighting committee.
Choose your city for a day-by-day Sehri (suhoor) and Iftar timetable for the whole of Ramadan 2026.
