The commonly referenced odd nights in Ramadan 2026 are expected to fall on the evenings of: March 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17, 2026 (nights 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 of Ramadan), in places where Ramadan starts around 19 February 2026 and Eid is around 20 March 2026.

Quick Scoop: Key Dates (Estimated)

Remember: in the Islamic calendar, the night starts at Maghrib. So “21st night” means the evening that begins after Maghrib and continues until Fajr.

Here are the estimated odd nights in the last ten nights of Ramadan 2026 (1447 AH), for the widely expected calendar where Ramadan ends around 19–20 March:

Why Dates Can Differ

  • These dates are estimated from calendars that assume Ramadan 2026 starts around 19 February 2026 and Eid al‑Fitr around 20 March 2026.
  • Actual dates in your city can shift by a day depending on:
    • Local moon sighting decisions
    • Whether your community follows global or local sighting
  • Some organizations explicitly list these same five Gregorian evenings (9, 11, 13, 15, 17 March 2026) as the likely odd nights for Laylat al‑Qadr in 2026.

A quick way to be safe: once your local authorities announce the start of Ramadan, count the last ten nights and focus on every odd‑numbered night (21, 23, 25, 27, 29). That way you will not miss any of them, even if the exact Gregorian mapping differs slightly in your region.
