What Time Do the Clocks Change This Weekend? When Daylight Saving Time Ends

Clocks will turn back to 1 a.m. on Sunday, ending daylight saving time under federal law and renewing debate over making it permanent.

  • On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, most of the U.S. will end Daylight Saving Time as clocks turn back one hour at 2 a.m. to standard time, providing an extra hour of sleep and shifting more daylight to the morning.
  • Before President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act in 1966, local governments set their own time schedules, causing confusion for travelers across regions like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia versus Washington, D.C., Cleveland, and Baltimore.
  • Sleep experts note that shifting clocks impacts the body's 24-hour circadian rhythm; research links the March 'spring forward' time change to spikes in fatal car accidents, heart attacks, and strokes.
  • The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 with a 308-117 vote in July, but the Senate failed to act, leaving the legislation dormant as senators recessed before the Nov. 3 elections.
  • President Donald Trump has urged Congress to "push hard for more daylight at the end of a day," but no floor vote is scheduled, leaving the twice-yearly time change in effect until at least next year.
