Ramadan 2027 timetable for York
Ramadan 2027 start date in York
Ramadan 2027 (1448 AH) is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, in 117 days. The first Tarawih prayers are the evening before.
Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar. Your mosque may begin a day later after the moon sighting; the times for each date stay the same, only the day numbers shift by one.
No single body sets the start of Ramadan for the whole of the UK. Many mosques follow the announcement from Saudi Arabia. Others wait for the crescent to be seen in Britain: ICOUK (moonsighting.org.uk) gathers UK sightings, including those made with binoculars or a telescope, while some groups accept only naked-eye reports or follow sightings from countries such as Morocco.
The two approaches can be a day apart. In 2026, communities following Saudi Arabia began fasting on Wednesday 18 February, and those waiting for a UK sighting began on Thursday 19 February.
