Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, its Gregorian starting date moves earlier by roughly 10 or 11 days in many successive years. Unlike a fixed Gregorian holiday, the precise civil date used by a community can depend on the sighting of the lunar crescent and the authority whose announcement is followed.
The table below is a civil/tabular projection. It is useful for long-range planning, but it is not a claim that a future Chief Imam, government, mosque or moon-sighting authority has officially declared these dates.

Why an exact 100-year “confirmed” Islamic calendar is impossible today
Islamic months have 29 or 30 days, and observational calendars can begin a month after a crescent sighting. Different locations or authorities may therefore announce dates that differ from a purely arithmetic calendar. Islamic Relief and Timeanddate both explain the role of the lunar cycle and moon sighting in Islamic datekeeping.
