Ramadan 2027 in Austria
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Austria decides
Austria's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
IGGÖ, Austria's state-recognised Islamic authority, announces the Ramadan start each year at sunset once the new crescent is confirmed. 2025 (1 March) matched Saudi Arabia's date; 2026 (19 February) fell a day after Saudi Arabia's announcement.
