Ramadan is one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims through fasting, prayer, charity, and spiritual reflection. Many Muslims across the United Kingdom are already planning their schedules for Ramadan 2027, including Suhoor, Iftar, and evening prayers.
Ramadan 2027 in the UK is expected to begin on Monday, 8 February 2027, with the first evening of the month expected on Sunday, 7 February. The exact start date will depend on the crescent moon sighting and the method followed by local mosques.
This guide covers the expected dates, fasting preparations, and provisional prayer timetables for London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
When Does Ramadan Start in the UK in 2027?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to start on 8 February, subject to confirmation. The Islamic calendar follows lunar cycles, so Ramadan begins about 10–11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.
The first fast is expected to take place on Monday, 8 February. Muslims will prepare for their first fast before dawn and break it at sunset. The first evening of Ramadan is expected to fall on Sunday, 7 February, when many communities will begin their nightly worship.
Ramadan usually lasts 29 or 30 days. Therefore, the final fasting day and the date of Eid al-Fitr may vary depending on moon sighting and the religious authority each community follows.

What Do Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha Mean?
Understanding the prayer timetable helps you organise your fasting day.
- Fajr: The dawn prayer time. The daily fast begins at dawn, so finish Suhoor before the Fajr time according to your local timetable.
- Dhuhr: The midday prayer, performed after the sun passes its highest point.
- Asr: The afternoon prayer.
- Maghrib: The prayer at sunset. This is when you break your fast.
- Isha: The night prayer, performed after dusk.
Exact prayer times can differ by location and calculation method. Always use a reliable local timetable.
How to Prepare for Ramadan 2027 in the UK
Preparing before Ramadan can make fasting more manageable, especially when balancing school, work, family responsibilities, and worship.
1. Plan Your Suhoor
Choose a balanced pre-dawn meal containing foods such as oats, whole grains, eggs, yoghurt, fruit, and other suitable sources of protein and fibre. Drink water regularly between Iftar and dawn to support hydration.
2. Prepare a Balanced Iftar
Break your fast at the local Maghrib time. Dates and water are traditional choices, followed by a balanced meal with vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. Avoid eating so much at once that you feel uncomfortable.
3. Organise Your Daily Schedule
Plan sleep, meals, work, study, and prayer around your local timetable. Preparing meals in advance and keeping a consistent sleep routine can help make the month easier to manage.
4. Make Time for Worship and Charity
Ramadan is an opportunity to strengthen spiritual habits, read the Quran, help others, and give charity where possible. Many mosques also arrange community activities and nightly taraweeh prayers.
5. Check Your Local Mosque’s Announcement
Check your mosque’s website or official social channels to confirm the first fast, the final fasting day, and updated prayer times. Don’t assume every UK community will follow the same announcement.
When Will Ramadan 2027 End in the UK?
Ramadan is expected to finish in early March 2027. If the month lasts 29 days, the final fast is expected on Monday, 8 March, with Eid al-Fitr potentially on Tuesday, 9 March. If Ramadan lasts 30 days, the final fast may fall on Tuesday, 9 March, with Eid expected on Wednesday, 10 March.
The exact date depends on the lunar calendar and the moon-sighting or calculation method your community follows. Eid al-Fitr marks the beginning of Shawwal and is celebrated with congregational prayer, family gatherings, charity, and shared meals.
Final Thoughts
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in the UK on Monday, 8 February, with the first evening on Sunday, 7 February. Planning meals, organising daily routines, and checking local prayer schedules can help you prepare for the month.
Use the London, Birmingham, and Manchester tables as provisional planning references rather than confirmed religious timetables. For the most reliable information, follow your local mosque’s announcement for the beginning and end of Ramadan.
