US Time Now — Every Zone

The current time in all six US time zones at once, with offsets and dates.

US time now across every zone, on one board. The continental United States spans four zones — Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific — with Alaska and Hawaii adding two more, so the country covers a six-hour spread from Honolulu to New York. Arizona is listed separately because it stays on standard time all year while its neighbours shift.

The three-hour coast-to-coast gap

Eastern and Pacific run three hours apart, which is the single fact that governs American scheduling: a 9 a.m. call in New York is 6 a.m. in Los Angeles. The workable national window is roughly noon to 5 p.m. Eastern. Add Alaska and Hawaii and the spread widens to five or six hours depending on the season — see calling across US time zones.

Why Arizona is on its own row

Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so it matches Mountain time in winter and Pacific time in summer without its own clock ever moving. The Navajo Nation, which extends into Arizona, does observe it. Hawaii also stays put year-round. Details in states that don't observe daylight saving.

Frequently asked questions

How many time zones does the US have?
Six cover the states: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska and Hawaii–Aleutian. Adding the territories brings in Atlantic, Chamorro and Samoa time as well.
What is the time difference between New York and Los Angeles?
Three hours. New York is three hours ahead, so 3 p.m. Eastern is noon Pacific, and this holds year-round because both shift for daylight saving together.
Does this page update automatically?
Yes — every zone updates live from your device's clock and your browser's time-zone data, so daylight saving is already applied.
Why does Arizona show a different time from Denver in summer?
Because Arizona does not move its clocks. In summer Denver is on daylight time and runs an hour ahead of Phoenix; in winter they match.
