when does daylight savings finish

Daylight saving time usually finishes in early November, on the first Sunday of the month in most places that observe it (like the US, Canada, and much of Mexico).

Quick Scoop

• In 2026, daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 1, at 2:00 a.m. local time in the United States, when clocks “fall back” one hour to 1:00 a.m.

• In recent years (including 2025), the pattern has been the same: clocks go back on the first Sunday in November, giving an extra hour of sleep and earlier sunsets.

• The system is not permanent yet; proposals like the Sunshine Protection Act aim to keep daylight saving time year‑round, but they have not become law.

Important caveats

• Some regions do not use daylight saving time at all (for example, most of Arizona and all of Hawaii in the US).

• Other countries that use daylight saving often end it on different dates (commonly in late October), so you should always check your specific country or region’s official time authority for the exact finish date.
