which states don't do daylight savings

Arizona and Hawaii are the only two U.S. states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time. Several U.S. territories also stay on the same time year‑round.

States without Daylight Saving Time

• Arizona (most of the state does not change clocks; the Navajo Nation within Arizona does observe DST).

• Hawaii (has never used Daylight Saving Time under the Uniform Time Act).

U.S. territories that skip DST

These U.S. territories also do not observe Daylight Saving Time and remain on standard time all year:

• American Samoa
• Guam
• Northern Mariana Islands
• Puerto Rico
• U.S. Virgin Islands

Quick context and “latest news”

• As of early 2026, all other U.S. states do still change clocks twice a year, even though many have passed laws expressing interest in permanent standard time or permanent Daylight Saving Time, which cannot take effect without federal approval.

• Online forum and news discussions often highlight Arizona and Hawaii as examples when debating whether the whole country should “stop changing the clocks,” which keeps this question a recurring trending topic each spring and fall.

In forum-style debates about “which states don’t do daylight savings” , people usually point to Arizona, Hawaii, and the territories above as proof that permanent time is workable and already happening in parts of the United States.
