In the UK in 2025, the clocks will change by going back one hour at 2:00 AM BST on Sunday, October 26. This change marks the end of British Summer Time (BST) and a return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). People will gain an extra hour of sleep with this adjustment, which has been a tradition for over a century. The clocks will then spring forward again at 1:00 AM GMT on Sunday, March 29, 2026, to begin British Summer Time once more. This biannual clock change is often remembered by the phrase "spring forward, fall back" to recall advancing the clocks in spring and setting them back in autumn.
