# When do the clocks go forward in 2027?

> When do the clocks go forward in 2027? Countdown to the start of British Summer Time and EU summer time, the exact date, and a WhatsApp reminder the night before.

It falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027. In the UK and the EU, clocks go forward one hour at 1am on the last Sunday of March.

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.
