Questions fréquentes
What time is it in Moscow right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Moscow, Russia, updated every second from your device's clock and converted with the Europe/Moscow time zone rules. Moscow currently runs at UTC+3 (MSK) all year round.
What time zone is Moscow in?
Moscow uses the IANA time zone Europe/Moscow, written as MSK all year. 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 Moscow?
Moscow stays at UTC+3 throughout the year. Its clocks never move, so the offset shown here is the offset on every date.
Does Moscow observe daylight saving time?
No. Moscow does not use daylight saving time — there is no clock change in 2026, so UTC+3 applies on every date. Differences with cities that do change their clocks still move twice a year, because the other city shifts.
What is the time difference between Moscow and New York?
