In the U.S., daylight saving time will begin and clocks will officially spring forward at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8, 2026.

Daylight saving time begins this weekend, resulting in a lost hour of sleep Saturday night, but daylight will start lasting longer into the evening.

In the 1890s, New Zealand astronomer and entomologist George Vernon Hudson proposed shifting clocks in the spring and fall to increase usable daylight.
