The clocks go back in 2025 on Sunday, October 26 at 2:00 AM in the UK and Europe (Central European Time), which is when daylight saving time ends and standard time resumes. At this time, clocks are set backward by one hour to 1:00 AM in the UK and from 3:00 AM to 2:00 AM in Central Europe. This change marks the end of British Summer Time (BST) and Central European Summer Time (CEST), respectively, giving an extra hour of sleep and shifting more daylight to the morning rather than evening.

In the United States, however, the clocks go back later, on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 AM local time.
