When Is Eid 2027? Predictions for Collective Leave and a Potential Nine-Day Long Weekend
Although Eid 2027 is still some months away, information about the dates of Idul Fitri 2027, national holidays and collective leave for Eid is already being widely searched for. So when exactly is Eid 2027, and when will the collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H fall?
To date, the government has not yet issued the joint ministerial decree (SKB 3 Menteri) on National Holidays and Collective Leave for 2027. As a result, the holiday and collective leave dates for Eid 2027 currently circulating remain estimates.
Below are predictions for the dates of Eid 2027, national holidays for Idul Fitri, collective leave, and the potential for a long weekend during Eid 2027.
Government Has Yet to Issue the Joint Ministerial Decree
The SKB 3 Menteri on National Holidays and Collective Leave for 2027 has not yet been officially issued. Last year, the decree was published on 19 September.
Whilst awaiting the government’s official decision, the public can consult a number of calendars and calculations that form the basis of predictions for Eid 2027.
When Is Eid 2027?
If one follows the pattern of the SKB 3 Menteri in previous years, the national holiday for Idul Fitri is expected to last two days. Using the estimated dates of 9–10 March 2027, the predicted national holidays for Eid 2027 are as follows:
Tuesday, 9 March 2027: National holiday for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Wednesday, 10 March 2027: National holiday for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Predicted Collective Leave for Eid 2027
What about collective leave? The 2025 decree stipulated four days of collective leave after Idul Fitri, whilst the 2026 decree allocated one day of collective leave before Eid and two days after.
The collective leave for Eid 2027 is predicted to fall on the following dates:
Monday, 8 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Thursday, 11 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Friday, 12 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Predicted Long Weekend for Eid 2027
If the above predictions for national holidays and collective leave prove correct, the long weekend for Eid 2027 would look like this:
Saturday, 6 March 2027: Weekend holiday
Sunday, 7 March 2027: Weekend public holiday
Monday, 8 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Tuesday, 9 March 2027: National holiday for Idul Fitri 1448 H

Thursday, 11 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Friday, 12 March 2027: Collective leave for Idul Fitri 1448 H
Saturday, 13 March 2027: Weekend holiday
Sunday, 14 March 2027: Weekend public holiday
