Current time in Toronto

Q: Does Toronto observe daylight saving time?

Yes. The clocks move forward by an hour in spring and back again in autumn, which changes the gap to any zone that does not do the same.

Q: Is this clock accurate?

It reads your own device's clock and renders it in Toronto's zone using your browser's copy of the IANA database. If your device time is correct, so is this.

Toronto is in the America/Toronto time zone, which runs at UTC−5 during standard time and UTC−4 while daylight saving is in effect.

How this clock works

The clock above reads your device's current instant rendered in Toronto's zone, so it stays correct through a daylight saving transition without anyone updating this page. The offset shown is taken from the IANA time zone database, the same source operating systems use.

Daylight saving

Toronto moves its clocks twice a year, so the offset you see today is not the offset that applies in six months. Always confirm the date before booking something months ahead.
