The calendar sets five months of winter time before the next adjustment
The European calendar sets the next clock change for March 2027. In the Peninsula, clocks will move from 02:00 to 03:00. In the Canary Islands, the change will be from 01:00 to 02:00. The winter period lasts about five months.
The Comisión Europea published the dates for the scheduled time changes between 2027 and 2031 in March 2026. The next spring adjustment is set for Sunday, 28 March 2027.
On the Peninsula, the clocks will move from 02:00 to 03:00; in the Canary Islands, the clocks will go from 01:00 to 02:00. The winter time period is expected to last about five months, until that Sunday.
The official time change shifts the time of sunrise and sunset on the clock, but does not alter the amount of daylight each day. Devices without automatic updates may need to be checked.
The Spanish calendar for 2022-2026 was set out in Orden PCM/186/2022. The fact that this table ended in 2026 did not mean the end of the time change system. Under current regulations, clocks are set forward on the last Sunday in March and set back on the last Sunday in October. The next return to winter time is scheduled for 31 October 2027.
