About This Site

America Time Now is a free time reference for the United States. It shows the current local time in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., the five inhabited territories and the country's largest cities, together with the tools people need most often: a time zone converter, a meeting planner, daylight saving dates and a federal holiday calendar.

Every clock on the site follows the IANA time zone database, the same source used by phones and computers, and is checked against our server clock when the page loads. The site works on any screen size and can be installed on a phone as an app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time is it in America right now?

The United States does not have a single national time. The contiguous states use four zones (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific), Alaska and Hawaii add two more, and the territories add three. The clocks at the top of this page show the current time in each zone, updated every second.

How many time zones does the USA have?

The 50 states span six time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska and Hawaii–Aleutian. Including the territories (Atlantic, Samoa and Chamorro), the United States observes nine standard time zones by law.

Which time zone is used as the main America time?

There is no official main zone, but Eastern Time is the most widely used reference. It covers Washington, D.C. and New York City, and about half of the U.S. population lives in it.

Is it AM or PM in America now?

It depends on the zone. Because the 50 states span up to six hours, it can be morning in Hawaii while it is already afternoon in New York. Check the live clock for the specific state or city you need.

What is the time difference between the East Coast and the West Coast?

Pacific Time is three hours behind Eastern Time all year. When it is 12:00 noon in New York, it is 9:00 AM in Los Angeles.

When does daylight saving time start and end in the United States?

Daylight saving time begins at 2:00 AM local time on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday of November. Clocks move forward one hour in March and back one hour in November.

Which states do not observe daylight saving time?

Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year. The territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa do not change their clocks either. The Navajo Nation in Arizona does observe daylight saving time.

Which states have more than one time zone?

Thirteen states are split between two zones: Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. Nevada and Arizona also have small areas that follow a neighbouring zone.

How accurate are the clocks on this site?

The clocks run in your browser and are corrected against this site's server clock when the page loads, so they do not depend on your device being set correctly. For legal or scientific purposes, the official U.S. time is published by NIST and the U.S. Naval Observatory at time.gov.

Can I use this site as an app on my phone?

Yes. Open the site in your mobile browser and choose "Add to Home Screen" or "Install app". It then opens full screen like a native app and keeps working when your connection drops.
