Eid al-Fitr 2028 is expected to be celebrated on Saturday, February 26, 2028. However, the exact date may vary depending on the sighting of the new moon.
Some sources indicate that Eid could fall on Sunday, February 27, 2028 or Monday, February 28, 2028. This variation is normal and expected.
When is Ramadan 2028?
To understand when Eid al-Fitr falls, it helps to know when Ramadan begins and ends.
Ramadan 2028 is expected to begin on Friday, January 28, 2028 and end on Sunday, February 27, 2028. The month of Ramadan lasts either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon.
Why the Date Can Vary
The exact date of Eid al-Fitr depends on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal. The first day of Shawwal is when Eid al-Fitr is celebrated.
Religious authorities in various countries rely on the physical sighting of the crescent moon to announce when Eid will officially begin. This is why the date can vary by a day or two between different countries.
A Quick Comparison
To put it in perspective: Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected around March 9–10. In 2028, it moves back to February 26–28 — about 10 to 11 days earlier. This shift happens every year because the Islamic calendar is lunar, roughly 11 days shorter than the solar calendar.
These dates are astronomical projections. The exact date will be confirmed by official moon sightings closer to the time. Check with your local mosque or religious authority for the confirmed date in your area.
