About Daylight Saving Time Begins 2027
Daylight Saving Time Begins 2027 falls on Sunday, March 14. It is an observance rather than a public holiday, so businesses, schools and government offices keep regular hours.
Daylight saving time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March, when clocks spring forward one hour. It is a nationwide clock change set by federal law, not a holiday, so nothing closes and no one gets a day off.
