Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday, November 2, 2025
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, Americans will set their clocks back one hour at 2 a.m., ending daylight saving time for the season. This change grants an extra hour as standard time returns until spring.
Regions Exempt from the Change
- Hawaii
- Most of Arizona
- Several U.S. territories
These areas do not observe the biannual clock adjustment.
Legislative Background
The Senate approved legislation to make daylight saving time permanent in 2022, but the bill has not passed Congress.
Details of the Time Shift
The fall time adjustment causes clocks to reach 1 a.m. twice, as time reverses from 1:59 a.m. back to 1 a.m.
This contrasts with the spring change when clocks “spring forward,” skipping 2 a.m. entirely and losing an hour.
Seasonal Effects and Timeline
Following the shift, sunsets will occur earlier across the country as late autumn moves toward winter. Standard time will continue until daylight saving resumes on March 8, 2026, lasting until November 1, 2026.
“The Standard Time Act of 1918 established this system to maximize summer daylight by postponing sunset an additional hour.” — US Naval Observatory (cited by NBC News)
Author's summary: Daylight saving time ends November 2, 2025, returning to standard time and giving Americans an extra hour, with regional exceptions and pending legislative changes.
