When do the clocks go forward in 2027?

– hours– minutes

It falls onSunday, March 28, 2027

In the UK and the EU, clocks go forward one hour at 1am on the last Sunday of March.

This year's date has passed. Counting down to the next one.

At 1am the clocks jump to 2am, so the night is 23 hours long. It is the change people miss: Sunday plans start an hour earlier than the wall clock says.

The UK and the EU change on the same day. The US changes two to three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday of March.

Questions, answered

Do I lose an hour of sleep?
Yes. The night the clocks go forward is an hour shorter.
Is the US date the same?
No. The US starts daylight saving on the second Sunday of March, two or three weeks earlier.
How do the reminders work?
Each Remind me button opens WhatsApp with one message already typed for Poko, dated for this year's occurrence. You press Send, Poko confirms the date, and the message arrives on WhatsApp when it is due. Nothing is sent by this page.

Or just tell Poko the date.

Once Poko is in your chat, say “remind me a week before Thanksgiving to order the turkey”.
