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

  • October 14 to October 31: 9 PM UTC = 5 PM EST
  • November 1 to March 13: 9 PM UTC = 4 PM EST
  • March 14 to October 13: 9 PM UTC = 5 PM EST

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