Ramadan ended after sunset on Thursday, March 19, 2026 , in most of the world, with Eid al‑Fitr beginning that evening or the next day, depending on local moon‑sighting.

Key points

  • The Islamic calendar is lunar, so Ramadan lasts 29–30 days and its exact end depends on the local sighting of the new moon of Shawwal.
  • For 1447 AH (2026), timetables and major Islamic organizations indicated Ramadan would end around March 18–19, 2026 , with many countries observing the last fasting day on March 19.
  • Eid al‑Fitr marks the formal end of Ramadan and starts at the beginning of the month of Shawwal, celebrated right after Ramadan’s last day of fasting.

In practice, some communities may have ended on March 18 or 20 due to local moon‑sighting differences, but March 19, 2026, is the widely cited date for when Ramadan ended.

TL;DR: When people ask “when did Ramadan end” for this year, the most commonly given answer is March 19, 2026 (after sunset), with Eid al‑Fitr immediately following.
