Overview
- The scheduled clock rollback in the night from Saturday to Sunday on October 24–25, 2026 will move clocks from 03:00 to 02:00, giving one extra hour of night and making mornings lighter while evenings grow darker.
- Most internet‑connected devices will adjust automatically if their automatic date and time setting is enabled, but analog watches, basic alarms, some microwaves and older car radios must be reset by hand.
- Train and local transport operators treat the change as routine but advise passengers to check timetables because night services can be held or otherwise altered during the switch.
- The EU has not agreed to end the semiannual change and the Commission has published summer‑time dates through 2031, while British Columbia already ended the switch in March 2026 and will observe UTC−7 year‑round.
- Research and surveys show health harms from the semiannual shift and an expert consensus now favors permanent standard (winter) time over year‑round summer time for better sleep, morning light exposure and daytime performance.
