Time in Paterson, New Jersey, United States

Time zone: EDT (UTC/GMT -04:00) — America/New_York

Clocks in Paterson 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.

Daylight saving applies here. Clocks next move back 1 hour on Sunday, 01 November 2026, putting Paterson on EST 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 Paterson.

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

Where the two working days actually meet, expressed in Paterson local time.

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

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