U.S. to End Daylight Saving Time on Nov. 1, 2026 Amid Senate Delay

The United States will set clocks back one hour at 2 a. m. November 1, 2026, ending daylight saving time, while the Senate is unlikely to vote on the Sunshine Protection Act before the end of the year, despite President Donald Trump’s criticism of the chamber’s inaction, according to NBC News, ABC News and USA Today.

Earlier reports noted that the fall transition will give most Americans an extra hour of sleep and health experts advised exposure to morning light to help reset circadian rhythms. Nineteen states have already passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent, but the change cannot take effect without federal approval, as reported by USA Today.
