Ramadan Calendar for America 2027 Timetable by City

Choose your city and a Ramadan day to see Fajr (end of sehri), sunrise, Maghrib (iftar) and fast length. The calculator uses a 15 degree Fajr angle, the standard used by ISNA and many American mosques. Times are for standard time, which applies throughout Ramadan this year because daylight saving time starts on 14 March 2027.

Ramadan Timing 2027 Across US Time Zones

America spans several time zones, so the same day gives different iftar clocks. New York breaks its fast before Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles on the local clock, while Honolulu and Anchorage differ even more. Latitude matters too. Miami has the shortest fast, while Seattle and Anchorage see the day grow fastest through the month.

What to Expect

In most southern and central cities, the first fast lasts about 10.5 to 11 hours, and the last fast about 12 to 12.5 hours. Northern states and Alaska may reach 13 hours or more. Compared with the long summer fasts of the early 2010s, 2027 is a gentler Ramadan.

No Daylight Saving Surprise

Clocks change on 14 March 2027, after Eid. Arizona and Hawaii do not observe daylight saving time at all. Your sehri alarm will stay steady all month.

How America Decides the Start of Ramadan

The Prophet ﷺ taught the ummah to begin and end fasting based on the crescent.

American Muslims follow three main approaches: local moon sighting, global sighting and astronomical calculation. Organizations such as ISNA and the Fiqh Council of North America have supported calculation based methods, while others rely on sighting reports shared at Moonsighting.com. For 1448 AH, the astronomical new moon occurs on 6 February 2027, which is why 8 February is the most likely first fast.

A Practical Example

Suppose your mosque in Houston follows local sighting and clouds block the crescent on 7 February. The community may begin on 9 February, while a neighboring mosque using calculation starts on 8 February. Both follow valid scholarly positions, so unity within your own community matters most.

Fasting Guidance for American Muslims

Sehri Tips

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing." (Sahih al Bukhari 1923)

Foods that help

Oats, eggs, yogurt, dates, whole grain toast and water keep you full. A simple example is oatmeal with banana, a boiled egg and a large glass of water.

Foods to limit

Salty snacks and sugary drinks raise thirst. Follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for balanced meals.

Iftar the Sunnah Way

Anas ibn Malik reported that the Prophet ﷺ broke his fast with fresh dates before praying, or dry dates, or water. (Abu Dawud 2356) Then say the narrated dua: Dhahaba al zama wa abtallat al uruq wa thabata al ajr insha Allah (Abu Dawud 2357).

Work and School

Under federal law, employers must consider reasonable religious accommodation, and you can read more at the EEOC website. Speak with your manager early about prayer breaks, flexible lunch hours and Eid leave. Students can ask teachers to avoid exams and sports trials on Eid day.

Health and Exemptions

Those who are ill, travelling, pregnant, nursing or elderly may have a valid concession, as mentioned in the same verse of Surah al Baqarah. Consult your doctor and a qualified scholar before deciding.

Taraweeh, Last Ten Nights and Laylat al Qadr

Taraweeh is prayed after Isha, and many American mosques complete the whole Quran during the month. The last ten nights are especially blessed. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek Laylat al Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan." (Sahih al Bukhari 2017) In 2027 they begin on the evening of 28 February.

Zakat al Fitr and Eid Prayer

Zakat al Fitr should be paid before the Eid prayer. Many US mosques announce the amount per person. Because large communities hold several Eid prayers, arrive early, bring a prayer mat and check parking details in advance. See our Eid guides for more.

Mistakes to Avoid with a Ramadan Timetable

Do not use a timetable from another city or time zone. Check whether your mosque uses a 15 degree or 18 degree Fajr angle. Do not treat a printed schedule as a replacement for your local announcement. Set your sehri alarm well before Fajr. Finally, keep an offline copy, since websites can be busy on the first night.
