2026 – 2027 observances
Islamic months follow the lunar calendar, so exact dates are confirmed by moon sighting shortly before each occasion. The dates below are best current estimates.
| Occasion | Expected dates | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ramadan begins | February 8, 2027 | Month of fasting from dawn to sunset |
| Eid al-Fitr | March 9–10, 2027 | Marks the end of Ramadan |
| Eid al-Adha | May 16–17, 2027 | Falls during the Hajj season |
Dates are estimates based on astronomical calculations and may shift by a day depending on official moon sighting. Confirm final dates closer to each occasion before finalizing event plans or accommodation requests.

Supporting colleagues who observe
A few notes for anyone planning meetings, events, or team schedules around these dates.
During Ramadan
Consider scheduling food-centred events outside daylight hours, and be mindful that energy levels may shift during the fasting day.
Around Eid
Many colleagues take the day off to celebrate with family. Avoid scheduling major meetings or deadlines on these dates where possible.
