Change to winter time 2026. When do we set the clocks back?

The clock change to winter time in 2026 will occur on October 25, moving clocks back one hour at 3:00 AM. This tradition, established in Poland in 1916, aims to optimize daylight usage and save energy. However, it can negatively impact health, causing issues like sleep disturbances and decreased concentration. Discussions in the EU about abolishing this practice are ongoing, but no final decision has been made yet. The next clock change to summer time will be on March 28, 2027.
