How Many Days Till Daylight Savings, How to Prepare, and More

Daylight saving time (DST) is the practice of adjusting clocks forward by one hour in the spring and reverting them back by an hour in the fall. Most locations in the U.S. and Canada follow this annual ritual, changing clocks at 2:00 AM local time on specified Sundays each March and November.

How Many Days Till Daylight Savings?

DST in the spring always falls on the second Sunday in March. In 2026, that means clocks spring forward on March 8 — just 6 days from today. At 2:00 AM local time, clocks will advance to 3:00 AM, giving you an hour less of darkness in the evening while also meaning most people effectively wake up an hour earlier than their bodies are used to.

This year's date is the earliest DST can possibly fall, since March 1 lands on a Sunday, pushing the second Sunday to March 8. DST will end on November 1, 2026, when clocks fall back one hour at 2:00 AM.

Hawaii and most of Arizona (excluding the Navajo Nation) do not observe DST, nor do U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
