Daylight saving time 2025: When does time change fall back?

Does daylight saving time end today? That's the most trending topic on Google and the social media platforms. So when does daylight saving time fall back? Daylight saving time - putting the clocks forward one hour during the summer half of the year to make the most of the longer evenings - has been in place in nearly all of the United States since the 1960s, but proponents have pushed to make it year-round.

Daylight saving time 2025 will fall back on November 2, in 2025 at 2 a.m. The time will be reset to 1 a.m.

In March 2022, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to make daylight saving time permanent but the effort stalled in the House of Representatives after lawmakers said they could not reach consensus. A bipartisan group of 16 senators in January made a new push to make daylight saving time permanent but Congress has held no hearings.


Trump in December said the Republican Party "will use its best efforts" to end daylight saving time, which he called "inconvenient, and very costly to our nation."

Lawmakers are as divided as the American public - some want to stay on standard time year-round, more are on record calling for remaining on daylight saving time all year, while others want to keep the status quo.

Proponents of eliminating daylight saving time altogether say the twice-annual changing of clocks causes sleep disturbance and health issues. Year-round daylight saving time was used during World War Two and adopted again in 1973 in a bid to reduce energy use because of an oil embargo, but was unpopular and was repealed a year later.

Since 2015, about 30 states have introduced or passed legislation to end the twice-yearly changing of clocks, with some states proposing to do it only if neighboring states do the same.
