Daylight Saving Time ends 2026 is Sunday, 1 November 2026
There are 65 days between 28 August 2026 and Daylight Saving Time ends, which falls on Sunday, 1 November 2026. That is 9 weeks and 2 days, or 43 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2026-11-01 in ISO form and 11/1/2026 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 44 of 2026, and it is day 305 of 365.
How the date of Daylight Saving Time ends is decided
In the United States, the first Sunday in November at 2:00 am local time, when clocks go back one hour. The European Union changes on the last Sunday in October, so the offsets differ for about a week.
That makes it a floating date: it is pinned to a weekday rather than to a day number, so it is always a Sunday but the date moves. In 2026 that is 1 November.
Daylight Saving Time ends is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.
