Will two 27-inch 1440p monitors fit on a 60-inch desk?
Two 27-inch monitors fit comfortably on a 60-inch (152 cm) desk. You do not need an oversized surface. The main constraint is depth: make sure you can sit 24-28 inches (61-71 cm) away or the screens will feel overwhelming.
A 27-inch 16:9 monitor is roughly 23.5 inches (60 cm) wide. Place two side by side on a 60-inch (152 cm) desk and you have over a foot of leftover space for speakers, a lamp, or a laptop stand. Angle them inward at 15 degrees and the apparent width drops to about 45.4 inches (115 cm), leaving a little more room.

How this is calculated
Most 60-inch (152 cm) desks are 30 inches (76 cm) deep, which gives you roughly 24 inches (61 cm) of usable depth once you account for a keyboard tray and your own seating position. At a standard 24-inch (61 cm) viewing distance, two 27-inch panels fill about 60 degrees of your horizontal field of view - comfortable for productivity without excessive head turning.
Verdict
Each 27-inch 16:9 panel is about 23.5 inches (60 cm) wide, so two side by side flat span roughly 47 inches (119 cm), leaving over a foot of the 60-inch (152 cm) surface for speakers, a lamp, or a laptop stand. At a 24-inch (61 cm) viewing distance two panels fill about 60 degrees of horizontal field of view, which is comfortable for productivity without inducing the head-sweep that comes from over-wide panels set too close. Width is the easy win here, and depth is the actual constraint, since a 30-inch deep desk loses roughly 6 inches to the keyboard tray and seating position, leaving about 24 inches of usable viewing distance. Below that distance the screens feel overwhelming rather than immersive, and that is the failure mode worth watching for.
