How it works and common questions

About these dates

Each date is worked out from the country’s rule (the second Sunday in March, the last Sunday in October…), then checked against the IANA time zone database that phones and computers use. They hold as long as the rules do: when a country changes its law, the table changes with it.

The changes in Europe happen at the same moment everywhere, 1:00 AM UTC, so the local time differs: 1:00 AM in London, 2:00 AM in Paris, 3:00 AM in Athens. In the US each zone changes at 2:00 AM by its own clock, so the change sweeps west across the country an hour at a time.

Questions

When is daylight saving time in 2027?

When does daylight saving time end in 2027?

In the US and most of Canada on Sunday, November 7, 2027, when 2:00 AM goes back to 1:00 AM. In the UK and Europe on Sunday, October 31, 2027. In southeast Australia summer time ends on Sunday, April 4, 2027 and starts again on Sunday, October 3, 2027.

When do the clocks change in 2028?

In the US and most of Canada, daylight saving time in 2028 starts on Sunday, March 12, 2028 and ends on Sunday, November 5, 2028. In the UK and the EU the clocks go forward on Sunday, March 26, 2028 and back on Sunday, October 29, 2028.

Why is daylight saving time on a different date every year?

Because the rules name a weekday, not a date. In the US the clocks go forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, so the dates move between March 8–14 and November 1–7. In Europe it is the last Sunday in March and in October.

Is the US getting rid of daylight saving time?

Not under current law. Bills to stop the changes, such as the Sunshine Protection Act, have been introduced in Congress, but none has become law, so the US dates in this table apply. States cannot choose permanent summer time on their own; Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year. In Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Manitoba stopped changing in 2026.

Is Europe getting rid of the clock changes?

Not yet. The European Parliament voted in 2019 to end them, but EU governments have not agreed on it, so the clocks still go forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October, everywhere in the EU at the same moment (1:00 AM UTC).

Which countries do not change their clocks?

Most of the world: Japan, China, India, South Korea, Singapore, most of Africa and South America, Hawaii, most of Arizona, Saskatchewan, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Among the places that stopped recently: British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Manitoba in 2026; Paraguay in 2024; Mexico (apart from the US border cities) in 2022; Iran in 2022; Jordan and Syria in 2022; Yukon in 2020; Brazil in 2019; Turkey in 2016; Russia in 2011.
