In 2025, we set the clocks back on Sunday, 26 October.

Quick Scoop

  • In the UK and most of Europe, the clocks go back by one hour on Sunday, 26 October 2025.
  • The actual change happens in the early hours of the morning (typically 2:00 changing to 1:00, depending on the country’s local rules).
  • This marks the end of daylight saving/summer time and the return to standard time (GMT in the UK, CET in much of Europe).

If you’re in the United States, daylight saving time ends a bit later: clocks fall back on Sunday, 2 November 2025, at 2 a.m. local time.

Easy way to remember: “spring forward, fall back” — in fall 2025, that “back” is on 26 October in the UK/Europe and 2 November in the U.S.

TL;DR:

  • UK/most of Europe: 26 October 2025
  • U.S.: 2 November 2025
