When is Daylight Saving Time in Atlanta?
This weekend is Daylight Saving Time. The clock change will officially happen on Sunday, March 8th, 2026 at 2am. At that time, you’ll turn your clock forward (or likely, it’ll turn itself forward) to 3am.
Yes, this does mean you’re losing an hour of sleep. But it also means you’re gaining an hour of daylight in the evenings! Seasonal depression be gone!

Daylight Saving Time will end on November 1st, 2026, at 2am. At that time, we’ll set our clocks back an hour to 1am, gaining an hour of sleep.
According to Sunrise-Sunset, the sun will set at 7:41:01 pm on Sunday, March 8th, a full hour later than before, of course.

Most of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Wait… real quick. Is it Daylight Saving Time or Daylight Savings Time?
It’s Saving. But if you live in Atlanta, more often than not, you’ll hear the two used interchangeably, much like Kroger vs Krogers and Virginia-Highland vs Virginia-Highlands. We like to add an ‘S’ onto the end of our words!
So get ready to set those clocks back, Atlanta! It’s almost spring!
