# When does daylight saving time end in 2026?

> When does daylight saving time end in 2026? Countdown to the US fall back, the exact date, and a WhatsApp reminder the night before.

It falls on Sunday, November 1, 2026. In the United States, daylight saving time ends at 2am on the first Sunday of November.

At 2am local time the clocks go back to 1am, so the night is 25 hours long. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not observe daylight saving and do not change.
This is a week after the UK and EU change, which is why transatlantic meeting times are wrong for one week every autumn.

- 2026: Sunday, November 1, 2026
- 2027: Sunday, November 7, 2027
- 2028: Sunday, November 5, 2028

**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.
