The exact date of Eid al-Fitr 2028

Eid al-Fitr 2028 falls on Friday, February 25, 2028. That is a Friday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 56th day of 2028 and sits in ISO week 8. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

A Friday date means Eid al-Fitr runs straight into the weekend, giving a built-in three-day stretch without taking any extra leave.

Compared with 2027, when it fell on March 8, Eid al-Fitr 2028 moves about 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

About Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr marks the close of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. It begins on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Hijri calendar, after the end of Ramadan. Many Muslim communities mark the day with a special prayer, charitable giving, festive meals, new clothes, and visits with family and neighbors. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Eid al-Fitr moves earlier through the Gregorian calendar by roughly eleven days each year.
