- In the United States, clocks will "fall back" one hour at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, November 2, 2025, marking the end of daylight saving time for the year.
- In the United Kingdom, clocks will go back one hour at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday in October, which is October 26, 2025, returning to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) from British Summer Time (BST).
- In much of Europe, including Germany, the clocks are set back one hour at 3 a.m. on Sunday, October 26, 2025, switching from summer time to standard time.
In summary, the common date to turn the clocks back in fall 2025 for many regions in Europe and the UK is October 26, while in the US it is November 2. This change typically happens early in the morning to minimize disruption. This action results in gaining an extra hour of sleep and earlier sunrises and sunsets. The clocks are moved back one hour to end daylight saving time and return to standard time.
