How many days until Eid ul-Fitr 2027? Expected date and countdown

Eid ul-Fitr 2027 is expected in Bangladesh on Wednesday, 10 March 2027 (1 Shawwal 1448). To see exactly how many days until Eid ul Fitr 2027, open our live Eid countdown: it shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, on your own device's clock. The final date depends on the moon sighting, so Eid may fall a day earlier, on 9 March, if the Shawwal moon is seen on the evening of 29 Ramadan.

Below: why the date is not fixed in advance, how the countdown works, and how to plan your holiday around it.

Expected date of Eid ul-Fitr 2027

	Expected date
Eid ul-Fitr in Bangladesh	Wednesday, 10 March 2027
Islamic date	1 Shawwal 1448 AH
Earlier possibility in Bangladesh	Tuesday, 9 March 2027 (if Ramadan has 29 days)
Chand Raat (moon-sighting evening)	The evening before Eid

Most published calendars agree on 10 March for Bangladesh, with Saudi Arabia and several other countries expected a day earlier. Treat all of these as expected dates, not announcements.

How many days are left?

The number of days left depends on today's date, so the simplest answer is the countdown, which updates every second. For planning, here is the count from a few dates to midnight at the start of 10 March 2027:

From	Days until Eid (10 March 2027)
1 December 2026	99 days
1 January 2027	68 days
1 February 2027	37 days
1 March 2027	9 days

If Eid comes on 9 March instead, subtract one day. For any other start date, the date calculator counts the days between two dates.

Why the Eid date is not fixed

Eid ul-Fitr is the first day of Shawwal, the month after Ramadan in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar. Each Islamic month begins when the new crescent moon is seen after sunset, and a month has either 29 or 30 days:

1. On the evening of 29 Ramadan, people look for the new moon.
2. If it is seen, Ramadan ends after 29 fasts and Eid is the next day.
3. If it is not seen, Ramadan completes 30 days and Eid is the day after that.

That is why any date published months ahead is an expectation that can move by one day.

Who decides in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, the National Moon Sighting Committee makes the decision. It meets at the Islamic Foundation's office at Baitul Mukarram after Maghrib on the 29th of the month, reviews sighting reports from around the country, and announces whether Eid is the next day. Bangladesh follows its own local sighting, which is why Eid here is often, but not always, a day after Saudi Arabia.

Until that announcement, every date for Eid in Bangladesh, including ours, is the expected one.

Why Eid moves earlier every year

The Islamic year has 12 lunar months and is about 11 days shorter than the 365-day Gregorian year. So Eid ul-Fitr comes roughly 11 days earlier each year: it was on 21 March in 2026 in Bangladesh and is expected on 10 March in 2027. In a few years it will fall in February.

Use the live countdown for days until Eid ul Fitr 2027

Our countdown to a date tool has a quick pick for Eid:

1. Open the countdown and press Eid ul-Fitr. It jumps to the next expected Eid ul-Fitr in Bangladesh.
2. Watch the days, hours, minutes and seconds tick down. A note reminds you that the date follows the moon sighting.
3. Press Copy link to share it with family or put it in a WhatsApp group. The link carries the date, for example ?to=2027-03-10T00:00.

A few details worth knowing:

• Your own time zone. The countdown runs on the device's clock. A relative abroad who opens your link sees the time left until midnight on 10 March in their own time zone. Note that Eid abroad may be on a different day, depending on that country's moon sighting.
• If the date changes. If the committee announces Eid on 9 March, pick a new date and time in the tool and share the new link.
• After Eid. When the date passes, the clock keeps going and shows the time since.

There is also a quick pick for Eid ul-Adha, plus New Year, Independence Day, Pohela Boishakh and Victory Day.

Planning around Eid ul-Fitr

Eid is the biggest travel time of the year in Bangladesh, so a countdown is most useful for planning:

• Travel tickets. Train, bus and launch tickets for the Eid rush sell fast. Watch for the official sale dates and set a reminder a few days before.
• Leave from work. Use the working days calculator to count office days before the holiday, with the Friday–Saturday weekend and your own holiday list.
• Shopping and Eid salami. Many families plan Eid shopping in the second half of Ramadan; knowing the exact number of days left helps you budget.
• Holidays. The government announces the official Eid holiday dates, and they can be adjusted after the moon sighting. Check the official notice before booking non-refundable travel.
