Ramadan 2027 in Bangladesh
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sehri and iftar times across 3 cities.
How Bangladesh decides
Bangladesh's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Bangladesh's National Moon Sighting Committee looks for the crescent locally each month. Ramadan started one day after Saudi Arabia in both 2025 (March 2) and 2026 (February 19).
