Prayer Times Orlando, FL Today

How Prayer Times in Orlando Change Through the Year

Prayer times in Orlando are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in Orlando falls on 08 Jun 2026 at 5:11 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:38 AM. That is a difference of 1 hour 27 minutes across the year, which is why a timetable printed in January cannot be reused in June. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Orlando sits at 28.5 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Orlando is earliest on 28 Nov 2026 at 5:28 PM and latest on 23 Jun 2026 at 8:27 PM, a shift of 2 hours 59 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:26 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 5:34 PM.

Anyone who keeps the voluntary fasts, on Mondays and Thursdays or the white days of each month, feels the range most. The longest fast of 2026 in Orlando runs 15 hours 15 minutes, on 18 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 5:11 AM to a Maghrib of 8:26 PM; the shortest is just 11 hours 30 minutes on 15 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast sits near the gentle end of the table, ranked 206 of 218. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 12:09 PM and 1:36 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Orlando

Why do the times on this page move a little every day? Because each of the five prayers begins at a set position of the sun. PrayerTimesUSA works out the Orlando schedule with the ISNA method used across most of North America: Fajr and Isha at 15 degrees of sun depression, Asr by the standard shadow rule, with the Hanafi Asr in the method selector above. The Hijri date today in Orlando is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:33 AM today)

Fajr is prayed at dawn, when light first appears across the horizon before sunrise. Today in Orlando it begins at 5:33 AM and must be finished by sunrise (6:39 AM). Across the year, Orlando's dawn moves from 5:11 AM at the earliest to 6:38 AM at the latest, so regular worshippers reset their Fajr alarm every few weeks.

Dhuhr (12:09 PM today)

Dhuhr starts once the sun has crossed its peak and begun to decline. Solar noon is not the same as 12:00 on the clock, because Orlando sits within the America/New_York zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Orlando is 12:09 PM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (3:17 PM today)

Under the standard rule used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, Asr opens when a shadow stretches to the object's own length beyond the noon shadow. That gives 3:17 PM in Orlando today. Hanafi Asr, at twice the length, lands roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; flip the method selector at the top of the page to see it. The time to pray Asr runs out as the light yellows toward sunset.

Maghrib (5:39 PM today)

Maghrib begins at sunset, the instant the sun's disc slips fully below the horizon: today that is 5:39 PM in Orlando. On a fasting day this moment is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast right away, with dates or water, and then pray Maghrib.

Isha (6:45 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha begins when the red twilight leaves the western sky, at 6:45 PM tonight in Orlando. Islamic midnight is the midpoint between Maghrib and the next Fajr, and the last third of the night after it is the time of Tahajjud, the voluntary night prayer. Use our Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third for Orlando.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Orlando, Florida

Jummah, the Friday congregational prayer, replaces Dhuhr every week and is the largest regular gathering of Muslims in Orlando. 3 mosques and Islamic centers in Orlando are listed below with their addresses, including Islamic Center of Orlando - Jama Masjid at 11543 Ruby Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32836. Each mosque sets its own khutbah time inside the Dhuhr window (Dhuhr today is 12:09 PM), so check the mosque's own notice board or website before you go, and arrive early: Friday parking fills fast.

These mosques also run weekend schools, community iftars in Ramadan and the five daily prayers in congregation. If a Orlando mosque is missing here, contact us with its address and Jummah time and we will add it.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Orlando (55.30° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Orlando that means facing 55.30° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Orlando's position (28.5° N, 81.4° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 7215 miles (11612 km) from Orlando in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. It surprises many people that the direction is north-east rather than south-east: from North America, the shortest line to Mecca crosses the North Atlantic, not the Pacific.

At home or at work in Orlando, the Qibla Compass on your phone reads the bearing directly. Calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it clear of metal furniture and electronics that drag the needle. Inside a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Florida: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Orlando, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:39 AM to 6:38 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 6:29 PM to 7:30 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:31 AM back to 5:31 AM, and sunset prayers come an hour earlier in the evening. Every time on this page already follows the America/New_York clock in force on that date, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
