It’s Almost Time to “Spring Forward”

(Undated) — If you need more sunlight, you don’t have to wait much longer. When clocks change or “spring forward,” sunsets shift later, adding more usable daylight after work and school across the country. Every year the debate over the time change fires up again, but never translates into action. In 2024, President Trump promised to eliminate daylight saving time, which would leave standard time year-round. A bipartisan bill named the “Sunshine Protection Act,” which looks to make daylight saving time permanent, has stalled in Congress for the last several years. According to federal law, daylight saving time always starts on the second Sunday in March, which means that daylight saving time will begin at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 8th, 2026. Clocks will be set forward one hour.
