In 2026, Ramadan overlaps with Daylight Saving Time, resulting in an hour-long shift in fasting schedules for Muslims in the U.S. Before March 8, sunset times signifies the end of the fast in the evening, but after clocks spring forward, iftar and related routines happen an hour later. The lunar calendar causes Ramadan to move through various seasons, and this year it falls in late winter and early spring. While the fast itself doesn’t lengthen, the time change interrupts meal, prayer, and sleep schedules. Awareness and preparation help individuals and families adjust smoothly.
