Will we have daylight saving time this year to give us more time in the sun? President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to get rid of it. What we know

In 2025, Americans will “spring ahead” on Sunday, March 9, marking the end of standard time and the beginning of daylight saving time. At that time, clocks will jump ahead one hour from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Here's when daylight savings time starts and ends this year and what would happen around the country if it ends permanently in 2025.

While most states follow the biannual practice, Arizona — with the exception of the Navajo Nation — and Hawaii do not partake in daylight saving time. The U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands also forgo the twice-yearly changing of the clocks.

Daylight saving time will start on Sunday, March 9. The “spring forward” changeover officially takes place at 2 a.m., when we move the clocks ahead by one hour, meaning sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later on March 9 than the day before and there will be more light in the evening and less in the morning.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — It’s cold and dark out there, for sure. But, the darkest day of winter is now a few weeks behind us, so we can look, quite literally, on the bright side: Each day since Dec. 21, 2024 will be lighter for longer, at least for a while.

In March, millions of Americans will turn their clocks forward, marking the start of daylight saving time in 2025. The controversial practice of "springing forward" and "falling back" has been observed in most states for decades.

A Republican lawmaker who represents parts of six rural Nevada counties is sponsoring a bill to take the state off daylight saving time — one of the 200 bills written so far.
