The clocks go back by one hour at 2:00 AM on Sunday, 26th October 2025. This marks the end of British Summer Time (BST) and a return to standard time (Greenwich Mean Time, GMT) in the UK, giving an extra hour of sleep and causing mornings to be brighter but evenings darker. This timing is chosen to minimize disruption, as most people are asleep and activity is low at that hour.

In other parts of Europe, such as Germany, the clocks also go back by one hour on the same date, Sunday, 26th October 2025, but at 3:00 AM local daylight time, which shifts back to 2:00 AM standard time.
