Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2025 starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November in most parts of the United States. Specifically, in 2025, DST begins on March 9, when clocks move forward one hour at 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, and ends on November 2, when clocks move back one hour at 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM. This shift provides more daylight in the evening during the warmer months and more daylight in the morning after the shift back.
In Europe, DST starts at 1:00 AM UTC on the last Sunday in March and ends at 1:00 AM UTC on the last Sunday in October. For example, in the Netherlands in 2025, DST starts on March 30 and ends on October 26, with the same one-hour forward and backward shifts.
Daylight Saving Time is observed in many countries, mainly in Europe, North America, parts of Asia, and Oceania, usually involving advancing clocks by one hour during spring and summer to extend evening daylight.
In summary:
- US DST 2025: Start March 9, End November 2
- Europe DST 2025: Start March 30, End October 26
- Most regions shift clocks by 1 hour forward in spring, 1 hour backward in fall
This means from March 9 to November 2, 2025, most of the US will be observing Daylight Saving Time.
