Daylight Saving Time: 2026 is a unique year for Halloween and daylight saving time. Daylight saving time simply means that Americans will turn their clocks back one hour on November 1, per usual. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 1, when clocks move back one hour to 1 a.m. In 2026, daylight saving time went into effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, and clocks will be returned to their regular time at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1.
