Overview
- Spain will return to winter time during the night of Saturday to Sunday, October 24–25, 2026, when clocks on the peninsula move back from 03:00 to 02:00, creating a 25‑hour day.
- In the United States the end of Daylight Saving Time is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 02:00 local time, when participating regions will set clocks back to 01:00.
- Mexico will roll back clocks on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 02:00 only in the border jurisdictions specified by the 2022 time‑zones law, including all of Baja California and selected municipalities in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
- Political efforts to end the twice‑yearly changes remain unresolved: Spain’s 2025 proposal and the U.S. House passage of the Sunshine Protection Act have not produced binding reform at the EU Council or in the U.S. Senate.
- Officials warn of practical effects for people and businesses: the change shifts daylight to mornings, some devices may need manual correction, and public‑health and cross‑border scheduling issues are key parts of the ongoing debate; the European Commission has issued a harmonized calendar for 2027–2031 to ensure predictable dates.
