Days Until Daylight Saving Time
Clocks in the US and Canada spring forward 1 hour on Sunday 14 March 2027.
About this date
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2am local time on the second Sunday of March in the US and most of Canada, when clocks move forward one hour and that hour of sleep disappears. Not every country uses the same rule — the EU and UK, for example, switch on the last Sunday of March instead — so this page tracks the US/Canada date specifically. This page always counts down to the next upcoming start of Daylight Saving Time.
