Ramadan 1447 AH is predicted to begin in the UK on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, depending on the official sighting of the crescent moon on the evening of 17th February, Tuesday. This prediction arrives during the favourable seasonal window, when the weather is quite at the cooler side in Saudi Arabia, making your performance uplifted and more comfortable. This religious festival comes at an favourable seasonal time with fasting time between 12 hours in the early days of Ramadan to 13 hours 45 minutes.
The 2026 schedule is based on the geographical location of the UK with Salah durations slowly changing as the winter turns into spring. Fajr Salah gains approximately 35 minutes throughout the month, and Maghrib gains more than 50 minutes, which means that Muslims have to change the routine of suhoor and iftar. The time also depends on the region: the Fajr and Maghrib are observed a bit later in the north, in the cities like Glasgow and a bit later in the south, which adds two to three minutes to the fast.
| City | Fajr Adjustment | Maghrib Adjustment | Net Fast Difference |
| Glasgow | +10 mins later | +10 mins later | +2–3 mins longer fast |
| Manchester | +4 mins later | +3 mins later | +1–2 mins longer |
| Birmingham | +2 mins later | +2 mins later | ~Same duration |
| Cardiff | +1 min later | +1 min later | ~Same duration |
| Newcastle | +7 mins later | +6 mins later | +2 mins longer |
