When does the time change?

It depends where you are, because no two blocs share a rule. In the United States and Canada the time changes twice a year, on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November, both at 2:00 AM local time. In the United Kingdom and across the European Union it changes on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October, at 01:00 UTC.

For 2026 that works out as March 8 and November 1 in North America, and March 29 and October 25 in the UK and Europe. Australia, New Zealand and Chile are in the southern hemisphere, so their seasons — and their changes — run the other way round. The 2026 Daylight Saving Time schedule lists every region side by side, and the clocks-go-back guide covers the autumn change on its own.
