US Canada Time Difference After Nov 1, 2026: Calculator and Market Hours

Q: Is Vancouver on the same time as Phoenix?

Since March 8, 2026, Vancouver has used UTC-7 year-round and shares Phoenix's time under the current rules. Before B.C.'s change, Vancouver was UTC-8 during winter, one hour behind Phoenix. Most of Arizona does not observe daylight saving time; the Navajo Nation is an exception.

On Sunday, November 1, 2026, most U.S. locations and Canadian regions that still observe seasonal time will turn clocks back. Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Yellowknife will not. Ontario’s Central Time region west of 90°W, including Kenora, also remains at UTC−5 year-round under Ontario Regulation 333/26, effective November 1. Choose two cities and a date to compare their local times. See the November 1 clock-change overview for broader regional context, and compare the Vancouver and Seattle time difference for the winter split.

Official update, checked October 28, 2026: Ontario Regulation 333/26 comes into force on November 1 and fixes the time west of 90°W at UTC−5 year-round, including Kenora. Most of British Columbia remains at UTC−7, but local exceptions remain around Golden and the East Kootenay. Read the Ontario regulation and see our Canadian clock-change guide for the regional differences.

Yukon and most of Saskatchewan already use one time year-round. Local rules still matter: the Golden and East Kootenay area of British Columbia continues to follow its own seasonal schedule. Most U.S. locations and Canadian regions still observing seasonal time turn their clocks back.

How this page is built

Time rules for British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and Ontario’s Central Time northwest come from those governments’ pages and regulations, checked October 28, 2026. US clocks follow the standard rule: forward on the second Sunday of March, back on the first Sunday of November (March 14 and November 1 in this period). Market hours are the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern session. The calculator applies these rules directly in the page. Cities stand in for their time zones, and communities with their own rules, such as Golden and the East Kootenay in BC, are not listed.
