Expected Dates of Eid ul-Fitr 2026 in Pakistan

According to the latest forecast from the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued on February 24, 2026, here is the likely timeline for the end of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr:

The Forecast

• Likely Date for Eid: March 21, 2026 (Saturday).
• Ramadan Duration: Fasting is expected to last for 30 days this year.
• Moon Sighting Attempt: The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee (RHC) will meet on March 19 (the 29th of Ramadan). However, the PMD predicts the crescent is unlikely to be visible on that evening.
• Visibility: There is a “strong likelihood” that the Shawwal crescent will be visible on the evening of March 20.

Official Confirmation

While the PMD provides the scientific forecast, the final decision rests with the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. They will hold their official meeting on the evening of March 19, 2026, to collect testimonies from across the country.

Note: Since the current Ramadan began on February 19, a 30-day month would conclude on March 20, leading to Eid on the 21st.
