Spring Forward
March 8th
In 2026, when will daylight saving time begin?
Clocks move forward one hour at two in the morning on Sunday, March 8th, marking the start of daylight saving time this year. The shift will keep evening temperatures in the United States lower.
Daylight Saving Time always begins the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.
In the parts of the U.S. that practice it, Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March. Clocks will move forward by one hour on March 8. At 2 a.m. local time that day, the time will jump to 3 a.m.
An hour of sunlight is shifted from the morning to the evening when Daylight Saving Time begins in the spring. The goal of the practice is to allow people to benefit from daylight during months with generally warmer temperatures.
The clocks go back one hour at two in the morning on the first Sunday in November. This implies that during months with generally colder temperatures, the sun will seem to rise and set a bit earlier.
