Overview
- Spain will switch to winter time in the early hours of Sunday, 25 October 2026, when peninsular Spain, the Balearics, Ceuta and Melilla set 03:00 back to 02:00 and the Canary Islands set 02:00 back to 01:00.
- The date is set in Orden PCM/186/2022 published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado, which lists 2022–2026 change dates but does not by itself end the clock‑change regime.
- The European Commission has not ended seasonal changes and has published provisional EU dates for 2027–2031 while a consortium‑led study (Ecorys, Capgemini, Stratec, CE Delft) due by year‑end will inform any future decision.
- Many smartphones, computers and connected devices update automatically if date, time and time‑zone settings are correct, so users should check those settings and manually adjust clocks and appliances that do not sync.
- Mexico’s northern border territories follow a different schedule and will revert to standard time on Sunday, 1 November 2026, a gap that can affect cross‑border travel, transport timetables and business coordination.
