Daylight saving time 2026 and 2027

In the United States and most of Canada, clocks go back 1 hour on Sunday 1 November 2026 at 2:00 am local time. In the EU and UK, clocks go back on Sunday 25 October 2026 (at 01:00 UTC). Australia (NSW, Victoria, ACT, Tasmania, South Australia) ends daylight saving on Sunday 4 April 2027 and New Zealand on Sunday 4 April 2027.

In the US and most of Canada on Sunday 14 March 2027; in the EU and UK on Sunday 28 March 2027. In the southern hemisphere, New Zealand starts on Sunday 26 September 2027 and south-eastern Australia on Sunday 3 October 2027.

In spring clocks go forward (you lose an hour), in autumn they go back (you gain one). Northern and southern hemispheres do this at opposite times of year.

Proposals exist in several places, including the US Sunshine Protection Act and an EU proposal from 2018, but none had changed the clocks as of the tz database release this page uses. When a government does decide, the tz database is updated and so are browsers; check back before relying on dates far ahead.

Most of Asia and Africa, including India, China, Japan and Singapore; Mexico since 2022 (apart from some border cities); and also Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii in the US, and Queensland in Australia. The table below lists only zones that do change.
