New York time zone and UTC offset
Clocks in New York are set to EDT, 4 hours behind UTC (UTC-04:00). Software that asks for a region wants America/New_York — the IANA identifier for this zone.
One date to watch: Sunday, 01 November 2026. That is when New York goes back 1 hour onto EST — 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 New York.

When New York and other cities overlap
Overlap of a normal working day, shown in New York time — outside these windows one side is off the clock.
| Sao Paulo | 09:00–16:00 in New York | 7 hours overlap |
| Los Angeles | 12:00–17:00 in New York | 5 hours overlap |
| London | 09:00–12:00 in New York | 3 hours overlap |
| Paris | 09:00–11:00 in New York | 2 hours overlap |
No shared working window exists with Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai or Tokyo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
