Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Netherlands
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 3 cities.
How Netherlands decides
Practice varies across Netherlands: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
The Association of Imams in the Netherlands announced 1 March 2025 as a unified start for Ramadan 1446. For Ramadan 1447 (2026) Dutch Muslims split: a minority (mainly Saudi/Morocco-aligned) began Wednesday 18 February, while most, following the imams' association's calculation, began Thursday 19 February, which is recorded here as canonical.
