Overview
- Most U.S. jurisdictions move clocks forward on Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 a.m. local time, with Daylight Saving Time running through Sunday, November 1, 2026.
- During the spring shift, clocks jump from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.; in the fall return, clocks move from 2:00 a.m. back to 1:00 a.m.
- Hawaii, most of Arizona, and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not change clocks.
- Rep. Gregory Steube’s Daylight Act of 2026 (H.R. 7378) would set a permanent half‑hour advance year‑round, taking effect 90 days after any signing, and it currently sits in the House Energy and Commerce Committee with no votes scheduled.
- Smartphones and other connected devices usually update automatically when set to the correct time zone, while many household and vehicle clocks must be adjusted manually the night before.
