Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday, November 2, 2025
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, Americans will set their clocks back one hour at 2 a.m., marking the end of daylight saving time, according to NBC News. This change gives residents an extra hour as standard time returns until spring.
Regions Not Observing the Change
Hawaii, most of Arizona, and several U.S. territories do not participate in the biannual clock adjustment.
Legislation and Time Change Details
Although the Senate passed a bill in 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent, it stalled in Congress. Sunday’s shift means most U.S. clocks will reach 1 a.m. twice as the seasonal change takes effect.
Unlike the spring adjustment where clocks skip forward from 2 a.m., this fall change allows clocks to move back from 1:59 a.m. to 1 a.m., effectively gaining an hour.
Seasonal Impact and Future Dates
The earlier sunsets that come with late autumn will be noticeable nationwide as winter approaches. Standard time will remain until daylight saving resumes next year, starting March 8, 2026, and ending November 1, 2026.
According to the Astronomical Applications Department of the US Naval Observatory cited by NBC News, “The Standard Time Act of 1918 established this system to maximize summer daylight by postponing sunset an additional hour.”
Author’s summary: Daylight saving time ends on November 2, 2025, returning clocks one hour back as standard time resumes, with exceptions in some states and a paused federal bill for permanent change.
