Daylight Saving Time: When do we turn the clocks forward in 2026?

The change to daylight saving time will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2026. At 03:00, clocks will be turned forward one hour to 04:00.

Daylight saving time will last until Sunday, October 25, 2026.

The purpose of changing the time is to save energy. During daylight saving time, we save 210 hours of electricity by utilizing sunlight.

Since 1996, there has been a pan-European regulation according to which clocks are turned forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall.
