US Ends Daylight Saving Time Early November 2, 2025

Daylight saving time (DST) in the United States will end on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m., when clocks are set back one hour to standard time, giving Americans an extra hour of sleep and earlier mornings. This date is one day earlier than the previous year and is the second-earliest possible date for DST to conclude, as mandated by federal rules under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. While most U.S. states observe DST, Hawaii, most of Arizona, and several U.S. territories do not. The end of DST prompts adjustments in daily routines due to darker mornings and shorter evenings. Meanwhile, lawmakers and President Donald Trump have revived discussions about ending the biannual clock changes, with proposals to permanently observe daylight saving time to avoid the inconvenience and costs associated with switching clocks twice a year. Similar daylight saving time practices are observed in parts of Australia, where clocks will move forward on October 5, 2025, marking the start of their DST period.
