Updated October 31, 2026. US information; schedules and availability may change.
Yes, for most of the US. At 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, November 1, 2026, clocks go back to 1 a.m. That gives the night a repeated hour. If you are reading this on Saturday, October 31, the change is overnight, not at midnight.
What time does the change happen?
The switch happens at 2 a.m. local daylight time. Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific locations make the change at 2 a.m. in their own zones, rather than all at the same moment. After the change, mornings will feel brighter earlier and evenings darker earlier by the clock.
Which US places do not change?
Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands do not observe daylight saving time. The Navajo Nation in Arizona is an exception and does observe it. If a remote meeting includes Arizona, double-check the calendar’s displayed zone.
Will your devices handle it?
Phones and internet-connected computers usually update when automatic date and time is on. Wall clocks, car clocks, ovens, and some watches need a manual change. For travel or shift work, verify the printed schedule and the time zone, especially during the repeated 1 a.m. hour.
A simple tonight checklist
Check Sunday alarms and calendar invitations; confirm a flight or shift in the organizer’s time zone; change manual clocks before sleeping. If you run a business, check any scheduled posts, bookings, or overnight logs that show only a time without the zone.
One sentence answer
Most US residents turn clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026. It is not a nationwide change in every state and territory.
