Are we doing daylight savings time this year

As of October 4, 2026, the United States remains committed to the established Daylight Saving Time schedule. Residents in most states will observe the end of Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, November 1, 2026. On this date, clocks will be turned backward one hour at 2:00 a.m. local time, marking the transition back to Standard Time. This annual adjustment is mandated by the Uniform Time Act, which requires the shift to occur on the first Sunday of November. While there has been ongoing legislative debate in Congress regarding the Sunshine Protection Act—a proposal that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent—no federal changes have been enacted to alter the current system for this year. Consequently, the biannual practice of "falling back" remains in effect for the vast majority of the country, with the exception of Hawaii and most of Arizona, which do not observe the time change. Citizens are reminded to prepare for the earlier sunset and the shift in daylight hours as the country moves toward the winter season.
