When is Daylight Saving Time 2027?
US clocks spring forward at 2:00 a.m. local time. The 2026 season ends first, on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when clocks fall back one hour.
Daylight Saving Time 2027
Under current US federal rules (Energy Policy Act of 2005), daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November and begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March.
In 2026, clocks fall back on Sunday, November 1, 2026: 2:00 a.m. becomes 1:00 a.m. and standard time returns. In 2027, they spring forward on Sunday, March 14, 2027: 2:00 a.m. becomes 3:00 a.m. The 2027 season then ends on Sunday, November 7, 2027.
Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii stay on standard time year-round; some US territories also do not observe DST. The daylight-saving guide page lists both dates for this year and next on one checklist.

How the date is calculated
Fresh Calendars models both US clock changes with nth-weekday rules: the second Sunday of March (Sunday, March 14, 2027) and the first Sunday of November (Sunday, November 1, 2026 for 2026). The engine does not shift the instant by time zone — local 2:00 a.m. still applies wherever DST is observed.
The same date rules power our US holidays list and US Holidays Marked monthly templates.
Why the clocks still move
Daylight saving time stretches evening daylight in warmer months. Congress has debated making DST or standard time permanent; until law changes, the March/November pattern remains the planning default for most states.
Practical impact is bigger than “lose an hour”: meeting links, medication schedules, observatories, and broadcast times all jump. Marking the Sunday on a March printable prevents Monday chaos.

Plan around Daylight Saving Time
- Write “fall back” on Sunday, November 1, 2026 and “spring forward” on Sunday, March 14, 2027; set phone alarms the night before each.
- Remote teams: announce the change in Slack/email Friday — not everyone notices until the Monday stand-up is empty.
- Parents: bedtime the Saturday night before is often harder; shift routines gradually mid-week if kids are sensitive.
- The November 2027 fall-back is Sunday, November 7, 2027; note it on the yearly poster so both DST edges stay visible.
- Use the weekly planner pack for the days around Sunday, March 14, 2027.
