Questions

When do the clocks go back?

In the US and Canada, the clocks go back one hour on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 2:00 AM local time. In the UK and Europe they go back on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Do I get an extra hour of sleep?

Yes. At 2:00 AM the clock jumps back to 1:00 AM, so that night is 25 hours long — an extra hour in bed.

Will my phone change by itself?

Yes. Phones, computers and most smart devices change automatically. Older clocks, ovens, microwaves and car clocks usually need to be changed by hand.

Which places don't change their clocks?

In the US, Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii stay on standard time. Most of Asia, Africa and South America, and all of Mexico except a few border cities, don't use daylight saving time.

Is it "fall back" or "spring forward"?

Spring forward, fall back: in spring the clocks go forward an hour, and in fall they go back an hour.
