US Clocks Go Back One Hour This Sunday as Daylight Saving Time Ends

International Desk: Daylight Saving Time (DST) for 2026 is officially coming to an end across the United States. This Sunday, November 1, at 2:00 AM local time, clocks in most parts of the country will be turned back one hour to 1:00 AM, granting residents an extra hour of sleep over the weekend.

This seasonal shift will also alter the time difference between the US and international zones, including Bangladesh. For instance, the time gap between the US East Coast (Eastern Time) and Bangladesh will widen from the current 10 hours to 11 hours starting Sunday.

While the time change applies to 48 states, it will not affect Hawaii, most of Arizona, or US territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands, as these regions observe permanent Standard Time.

The US resets its clocks twice a year, advancing one hour on the second Sunday of March and reverting on the first Sunday of November. Despite ongoing debates and legislative proposals in Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, federal consensus remains stalled due to geographic disagreements and health evaluations. This new winter schedule will remain in effect until March 14, 2027.
