Birmingham clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Birmingham runs on CDT. That places it 5 hours behind UTC (UTC-05:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select America/Chicago.
Daylight saving applies here. Clocks next move back 1 hour on Sunday, 01 November 2026, putting Birmingham on CST and changing its gap to every other zone listed below.
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 Birmingham.
