What time zone is Brussels in?
Brussels keeps CEST (2 hours ahead of UTC, UTC+02:00). Its database zone is Europe/Brussels — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.
This zone does shift. On Sunday, 25 October 2026 the clocks go back 1 hour and Brussels moves to CET, so anything booked across that date needs checking.

Working hours that match Brussels
Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Brussels local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.
| Paris | 09:00–17:00 in Brussels | 8 hours overlap |
| London | 10:00–17:00 in Brussels | 7 hours overlap |
| Dubai | 09:00–15:00 in Brussels | 6 hours overlap |
| Mumbai | 09:00–13:30 in Brussels | 4.5 hours overlap |
No shared working window exists with Los Angeles or Sydney, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
