How soon do clocks 'spring forward?' The earliest possible date this year

On Sunday, March 29, clocks will be set forward one hour, marking the start of Daylight Saving Time, according to TimeAndDate.com.
After the 2019 vote, implementation stalled because of the Covid pandemic, and EU institutions along with the European Commission do not plan a new proposal, so no changes are expected.
Smart devices will automatically jump at the switchover, with smartphones and smartwatches updating from 1am to 2am while decorative clocks need manual adjustment; by April 18, sunset is expected around 8.30pm.

For those who follow the astronomical calendar, spring begins on March 20, and TimeAndDate.com cites March 8 for 2026, with clocks falling back on Oct. 26 or Nov. 1.
