Astronomical calculations and forecasts indicate that Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday, February 8, 2027. Projections suggest this follows a lunar conjunction on February 6, specifically a central conjunction of the moon expected at 15:56 UTC.

Official start and end dates remain subject to physical lunar sightings by religious authorities in Arab-Muslim countries. In Egypt, the official sighting is anticipated for February 7, 2027, with the final date dependent on the results announced by Dar al-Ifta al-Missriyyah. Depending on whether the month lasts 29 or 30 days, Eid al-Fitr is estimated to occur on either March 9 or March 10, 2027.
