Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday, November 2: Clock Change Guide

Daylight Saving Time Ends on November 2, 2025

Daylight saving time (DST) will end on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when Americans will set their clocks back one hour at 2 a.m., according to NBC News. This adjustment gives residents an extra hour as standard time returns until spring.

Regions Not Observing the Change

Hawaii
Most of Arizona
Several US territories

These areas do not participate in the biannual clock changes.

Legislative Background

The Senate passed permanent daylight saving legislation in 2022, but the bill stalled in Congress.

How the Time Change Works

On Sunday, clocks will roll back from 1:59 a.m. to 1 a.m., effectively repeating the 1 a.m. hour and giving people an extra hour of sleep. This contrasts with the spring shift when clocks move forward and skip the 2 a.m. hour entirely.

Earlier sunsets will begin appearing nationwide as the season transitions from autumn into winter. The standard time will remain until spring, when daylight saving resumes on March 8, 2026, and ends again on November 1, 2026.

Historical Context

The Standard Time Act of 1918 established this system to maximize summer daylight by postponing sunset an additional hour.

This explanation is provided by the Astronomical Applications Department of the US Naval Observatory.

Summary

Daylight saving time ends November 2, 2025, giving Americans an extra hour as clocks fall back, marking the shift to standard time until March 2026.
