Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Switzerland
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 2 cities.
How Switzerland decides
Practice varies across Switzerland: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Switzerland's Muslim population is split across Turkish, Bosnian, Albanian and Arab federations with no single central authority, so dates come from general Ramadan-guide sources rather than one official body. Ramadan 1446 (2025) began 1 March and Ramadan 1447 (2026) began 19 February, one day after Saudi Arabia.
