Daylight saving time in the United States ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2:00 a.m. local time, when clocks are set back one hour to standard time.

Quick Scoop

• End date: Sunday, November 1, 2026.

• Time of change: Clocks “fall back” at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time to 1:00 a.m. standard time in most of the U.S. and Canada.

Why this date?

For 2026, that first Sunday falls on November 1, giving you an extra hour of sleep that night in participating regions.
