Ramadan 2028 in Sydney
Ramadan 1449 AH is expected to begin around Friday, 28 January 2028. It should end around 25 February 2028.
This is a calculated estimate, not yet a moon-sighting confirmation. The dates come from the computed Islamic calendar, the same one we use for today's Hijri date. Moon-sighting bodies confirm the real start only a day or so ahead. The confirmed date can land a day earlier or later than the one shown here.

Sydney CBD, real calculated times for these calendar dates. For every day in between, once the dates are confirmed, use your own suburb's page for suburb-level accuracy.
How this date is worked out
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is lunar. Each month begins when a new crescent moon is sighted. That sighting can only be confirmed a day or so ahead of time.
So this page shows the calculated date for 1 Ramadan 1449 AH, using the same computed calendar as today's Hijri date elsewhere on this site. It is a useful planning estimate that is right most of the time. It is still a calculation, not an observation.
If your local mosque or Islamic council announces a start a day earlier or later, follow that announcement. It is the real authority on the date, not this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Ramadan 2028 in Sydney? +
Ramadan 1449 AH is expected to run from around 28 January 2028 to 25 February 2028. That is 29 or 30 days. This is a calculated estimate, not a moon-sighting confirmation. The real start is announced only a day or so ahead and can differ from this date by a day. Your local mosque will confirm the exact date closer to the time.
Why isn't this date 100% certain yet? +
Ramadan starts with the sighting of the new moon, not a fixed calendar. The date here comes from the same computed Hijri calendar we use for today's Hijri date. It is a reliable estimate. The confirmed date can still land a day earlier or later once it is announced.
Who announces the start of Ramadan in Sydney? +
Moon-sighting bodies such as the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) announce it, usually the evening before the first fast. Your local mosque will pass it on. Some communities follow announcements from overseas instead. Check which one your mosque follows.
Where can I get the exact Suhoor and Iftar time for each day? +
Once the dates are confirmed, use the monthly calendar for daily Fajr (Suhoor) and Maghrib (Iftar) times. Your own suburb's page is more exact than the Sydney CBD figures shown here.
Does the date shift every year? +
Yes. The Islamic calendar is lunar and about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. So Ramadan moves roughly 10 to 11 days earlier each year.
