The clocks fall back to standard time on different dates depending on the region:

  • In the United States and Canada, Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025. At 2:00 AM local time, the clocks are set back one hour to 1:00 AM, giving an extra hour of sleep.
  • In the United Kingdom and the European Union, the clocks fall back earlier, on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 1:00 AM UTC. For example, in the UK, the clocks go from 2:00 AM British Summer Time (BST) to 1:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
  • In the Netherlands and other parts of continental Europe that observe Central European Time, clocks fall back on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3:00 AM, moving back one hour to 2:00 AM local standard time.

Thus, the exact time and date depend on the specific time zone or country, but generally, the "fall back" occurs in late October or early November 2025.
