Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected to begin on Tuesday, March 9, 2027. Live countdown, dates through 2031, and how the date is determined.

Eid al-Fitr is the first of the two main festivals in Islam, the other being Eid al-Adha. The holiday falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. One of the most important Islamic celebrations, Eid al-Fitr is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as it marks the end of the month-long, dawn-to-dusk fasting (sawm) during Ramadan. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world. Eid al-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends.

Eid al-Fitr is expected to begin on Tuesday, March 9, 2027. The countdown above updates live, so you always see exactly how many days, hours, and minutes are left.

Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calculation and may shift by a day when the crescent moon is sighted.

Why does the date move?

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is purely lunar — twelve lunar months totalling about 354 days — so every Islamic date arrives roughly 11 days earlier each civil year, cycling through all seasons over about 33 years. Dates here follow the Umm al-Qura calculation; in many communities the final date is confirmed only by the physical sighting of the new crescent moon, so observances can shift by a day.
