What is 8 PM EST in CET?

Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Eastern Time and Central European Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

• October 14 to October 24: 8 PM EST = 2 AM CET the next day
• October 25 to October 31: 8 PM EST = 1 AM CET the next day
• November 1 to March 13: 8 PM EST = 2 AM CET the next day
• March 14 to March 27: 8 PM EST = 1 AM CET the next day
• March 28 to October 13: 8 PM EST = 2 AM CET the next day

Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year. Central European Time switches between CET and CEST for daylight saving time; people often say CET all year.
