Time in Austin, Texas, United States

Time zone: CDT (UTC/GMT -05:00) — America/Chicago

The local standard in Austin is CDT — UTC-05:00, or 5 hours behind UTC. Systems that store time zones by name use America/Chicago for this part of the world.

One date to watch: Sunday, 01 November 2026. That is when Austin goes back 1 hour onto CST — recurring meetings set before then will land an hour out unless the calendar handles zones properly.

United States is not on a single clock: the 419 cities listed here fall across 10 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match Austin.

How Austin lines up against other major centres at this moment — the numbers move when either side changes its clocks.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Austin local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

No shared working window exists with Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai or Tokyo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

No difference at all from Austin: the cities below share the America/Chicago zone.
