Frequently asked questions
What time is it in Kampala right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Kampala, Uganda, updated every second from your device's clock and converted with the Africa/Kampala time zone rules. Kampala currently runs at UTC+3 (EAT) all year round.
What time zone is Kampala in?
Kampala uses the IANA time zone Africa/Kampala, written as EAT 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 Kampala?
Kampala stays at UTC+3 throughout the year. Its clocks never move, so the offset shown here is the offset on every date.
Does Kampala observe daylight saving time?
No. Kampala 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 Kampala and New York?

Sao Paulo is 6 hours behind Kampala, and that gap holds all year — neither city moves its clocks in a way that changes it.
What is the time difference between Kampala and London?
