Ramadan 2026 dates & calendar
Dates
Ramadan 2026 is predicted to begin on 18 February 2026, corresponding to Ramadan 1447 in the Islamic lunar calendar.
It is imperative to note that Ramadan dates vary in different countries due to the moon’s cycle, albeit typically only by a day. For instance, if you live in Qatar, Ramadan will likely start on 18 February 2026, just like in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Ramadan in 2026 is expected to last 30 days, so Eid ul Fitr will likely fall on Thursday, 19 March.
Please note that these dates are tentative and will be confirmed as soon as official information is available.
