Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Belgium
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Belgium decides
Belgium follows a pre-calculated lunar calendar, so the start date is set by astronomical calculation rather than a moon sighting.
Belgium's Muslim Executive uses astronomical calculation, aligning with the Netherlands and Turkey; a Dutch report on the 2026 split confirms Belgium set Thursday 19 February 2026 as the first day of Ramadan 1447. The 2025 (1446) start date for Belgium specifically could not be confirmed from available sources.
