when daylight saving ends in 2026

Daylight Saving Time Ends November 1, 2026 In 2026, Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States concludes on Sunday, November 1, at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks "fall back" one hour to 1:00 a.m. standard time.

This shift brings earlier sunrises and sunsets, offering an extra hour of sleep but shorter evenings, especially noticeable after Halloween festivities the day before.

Key Dates for DST 2026

• Start : Sunday, March 8 – Clocks spring forward from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

• End : Sunday, November 1 – Clocks fall back from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

• Duration : About 238 days of extended evening daylight.

These dates follow the Energy Policy Act of 2005, setting DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
