Overview
- Clocks advance from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2026, then return from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1.
- Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe the change, nor do Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Most phones, computers and connected devices will update automatically, while analog clocks, appliances and many vehicle dashboards need manual resets.
- Major hubs in Texas and New York expect reprogrammed school, transport and work schedules, with authorities urging travelers to confirm itineraries and check non-automatic clocks.
- Nearly 20 states have approved measures favoring permanent daylight time or ending clock changes, and President Trump backed permanence in 2025, but no federal authorization is in effect.
