Time in Los Angeles, United States

Time zone: PDT (UTC/GMT -07:00) — America/Los_Angeles

Clocks in Los Angeles are set to PDT, 7 hours behind UTC (UTC-07:00). Software that asks for a region wants America/Los_Angeles — the IANA identifier for this zone.

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

Across United States there are 10 distinct time zones among these 419 cities, so "local time" there depends entirely on which city you mean.

Los Angeles has roughly 3,898,747 residents and ranks 2nd by population among the United States cities on this site.

Current gap between Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

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

These United States cities also use America/Los_Angeles, so their clocks read identically to Los Angeles at every moment of the year.
