Häufige Fragen

What time is it in Atlanta right now?

The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Atlanta, United States, updated every second from your device's clock and converted with the America/New_York time zone rules. Atlanta currently runs at UTC-4 (EDT), and switches between UTC-5 and UTC-4 across the year.

What time zone is Atlanta in?

Atlanta uses the IANA time zone America/New_York, written as EST in standard time and EDT while daylight saving time is in force. Every time on this page is computed from that zone rather than from a stored offset, so it follows the rules currently published in the time zone database.

What is the UTC offset in Atlanta?

Atlanta has two offsets. It runs at UTC-5 during standard time and at UTC-4 during daylight saving time, which is why a single fixed offset for Atlanta is always wrong for part of the year. In 2026 the daylight saving period runs from March 8, 2026 to November 1, 2026.

Does Atlanta observe daylight saving time?

Yes. Atlanta changes its clocks twice in 2026: March 8, 2026 — clocks go forward 1 hour, from 02:00 EST to 03:00 EDT; November 1, 2026 — clocks go back 1 hour, from 02:00 EDT to 01:00 EST. Time differences with other places therefore shift during the year.

What is the time difference between Atlanta and Los Angeles?

What is the time difference between Atlanta and Sao Paulo?
