Daylight Saving Time started at 2 AM local time on March 8, 2026, when clocks were set ahead (“spring forward”) one hour in the United States. This resulted in sunrise and sunset occurring one hour later. Daylight Saving Time ended on November 1, 2026. Two U.S. states do not observe Daylight Saving Time: Hawaii and most of Arizona. In 2027 Daylight Saving Time will begin on March 14 and end on November 7.
