Daylight saving time ends for most of the United States on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, when clocks move back one hour at 2 a.m. local time. The change, arriving in the early morning after Halloween, returns participating areas to standard time and gives many Americans an extra hour overnight.
The shift means daylight will arrive earlier in the morning and darkness will come earlier in the evening. CBS News cited Boston as an example: The National Weather Service forecast sunrise and sunset at 7:16 a.m. and 5:39 p.m. on Saturday, compared with 6:17 a.m. and 4:37 p.m. on Sunday after the change.
Daylight saving time runs from March to early November in most of the country, placing clocks one hour ahead of standard time during the longer days of spring and summer. The United States first adopted the practice in 1918 during World War I as a fuel-conservation measure, according to the Congressional Research Service. Congress later established uniform start and end dates in 1966.
Proposals to make daylight saving time permanent have again been considered in Congress, but legislation had not ended the twice-yearly clock change before this weekend. Supporters favor additional afternoon daylight, while opponents have pointed to the prospect of later winter sunrises.
