# When is Eid ul-Fitr in the UK?

Updated 2026-07-28

Quick Answer

Eid ul-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends, confirmed by moon sighting. Expected Gregorian dates are listed on our events and Ramadan pages — always confirm with your local mosque, as UK communities may differ by a day.

## In detail

Eid prayer is held in the morning after sunrise; mosques publish multiple congregation times.

Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) should be paid before the Eid prayer wherever possible.
