6 things to know about Daylight saving time 2026 in the US, Canada and Europe

Daylight saving time began across most of the United States and Canada on March 8, 2026, when clocks moved forward by one hour at 2 a.m. local time. The change marks the start of longer evening daylight and will remain in effect until November 1, when clocks return to standard time. While most regions follow the shift, places such as Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe it. In Europe and the United Kingdom, daylight saving time will begin later on March 29.
