What to know about time in Argentina

Argentina uses UTC−3 nationwide and has not observed daylight saving time since the 2008–2009 season.

Most of the country lies far enough west that solar time is closer to UTC−4, so clock noon arrives early relative to the sun, especially in the west.

Clock rules in 2026

Zones with identical rules are grouped. Calculated from the IANA time zone database at build time; local dates.
