# When does daylight saving time start in 2027?

> When does daylight saving time start in 2027? Countdown to the US spring forward, the exact date, and a WhatsApp reminder the night before.

It falls on Sunday, March 14, 2027. In the United States, daylight saving time starts at 2am on the second Sunday of March.

At 2am the clocks jump to 3am and the night is 23 hours long. The Monday after is famously the worst for missed alarms and late arrivals.
Europe changes two or three weeks later, on the last Sunday of March, so for that gap the time difference to London and Berlin is one hour shorter than usual.

## The next few years

- 2027: Sunday, March 14, 2027
- 2028: Sunday, March 12, 2028
- 2029: Sunday, March 11, 2029
