About Daylight Saving Ends (US)
US daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday of November, when clocks "fall back" from 2 AM to 1 AM — the beloved 25-hour day with its bonus hour of sleep. The countdown above tracks the next change (November 1, 2026).
The trade-off is darkness: sunset suddenly arrives an hour earlier, which is why the days after the change feel like instant winter. Europe falls back a week earlier (last Sunday of October), so for one week each autumn the US–Europe time gap shrinks by an hour — a classic scheduling trap for international calls.

FAQ
When do clocks fall back in 2026?
Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 2 AM local time in the US — clocks return to 1 AM standard time.
Do I gain an hour of sleep?
Yes — the November change gives everyone an extra hour, the easy half of daylight saving.
Why does Europe change on a different date?
The EU uses the last Sunday of October/March; the US uses the first Sunday of November and second of March — creating brief mismatch weeks.
