Time in Groningen, Netherlands

Time zone: CEST (UTC/GMT +02:00) — Europe/Amsterdam

The local standard in Groningen is CEST — UTC+02:00, or 2 hours ahead of UTC. Systems that store time zones by name use Europe/Amsterdam for this part of the world.

Expect a clock change on Sunday, 25 October 2026: Groningen switches to CET, moving back by 1 hour. Until that date the UTC+02:00 offset above holds.

Current gap between Groningen and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

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

No shared working window exists with Los Angeles or Sydney, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These The Netherlands cities also use Europe/Amsterdam, so their clocks read identically to Groningen at every moment of the year.
