This year, daylight saving time begins on Sunday and ends November 5. Luckily, we have all the info you need to know about when to change your clocks, and what they should be changed to!

The time change takes place across the USA except in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Arizona (but not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe Daylight Saving Time).
