Daylight Saving Time Ends November 1, 2026, Clocks Set Back One Hour
Daylight saving time in the United States will end at 2 a.m. on November 1, 2026, when clocks will be set back one hour, giving most Americans an extra hour of sleep. This change occurs annually to adjust daylight hours, with clocks moving forward in March and back in November. While Congress has approved a bill for permanent daylight saving time, the Senate has yet to act, so the 2026 clock change remains scheduled. The practice dates back over a century, originally introduced to conserve fuel during wartime.
