Daylight saving time will begin for 2026 on Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. local time, when our clocks will go ahead one hour, part of the twice-annual time change that affects millions, but not all, Americans.
When daylight saving time begins in March, we will "spring forward," and lose an hour of sleep, as opposed to the November time change, where we "fall back," and gain an extra hour.
Daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 1.
