Israel will officially end its daylight saving period and switch to winter time on the night of Saturday, October 25, 2026. At 2:00 AM, clocks will be turned back one hour to 1:00 AM. This change is expected to grant residents an extra hour of sleep. The transition to winter time occurs annually in the autumn according to established procedures. Most modern devices, including smartphones, computers, and smartwatches, will automatically update the time, provided the automatic date and time setting is enabled. Traditional clocks will require manual adjustment. Israelis are advised to check their digital devices' settings in advance to prevent confusion with transportation schedules and morning plans on Sunday. Following the switch, daylight hours will shorten, and it will become darker earlier in the evenings. This time will remain in effect until the spring, when Israel will revert to daylight saving time.
