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, which started on March 9, allows residents to gain an extra hour as the country shifts back to standard time until spring.

Regions Not Observing the Change

These areas do not follow the biannual time adjustment.

Legislation and Time Change Details

Although the Senate approved permanent daylight saving time legislation in 2022, the bill has stalled in Congress. This Sunday’s adjustment will cause clocks to reach 1 a.m. twice as the seasonal shift takes effect.

Sunday morning brings an hour gain, with clocks reversing from 1:59 a.m. to 1 a.m., according to NBC News.

Seasonal Time Transition

Unlike the spring shift, when clocks skip forward entirely past 2 a.m., the fall shift adds an hour. Early sunsets will become noticeable as late autumn moves into winter.

Standard time remains in effect until daylight saving resumes on March 8, 2026, which will continue until November 1, 2026, NBC News reported.

Historical Background

The Standard Time Act of 1918 established this system to maximize summer daylight by postponing sunset an additional hour, according to the Astronomical Applications Department of the US Naval Observatory cited by NBC News.

Summary: The end of daylight saving time on November 2, 2025, returns the US to standard time, giving residents an extra hour while earlier sunsets signal the approach of winter.
