No clock changes: Edmonton stays on CST (UTC−6) all year.

Clock rules in Edmonton

Edmonton keeps CST (UTC−6) all year, like the whole of Alberta.

There is no daylight saving time; the last summer time here was in 2024.

tzdata also changed the abbreviation on November 1, 2026 (for example from PDT to MST) without moving the clocks. Older phones and browsers that have not received the 2026 tzdata update may still show the old abbreviation or, worse, fall back an hour: the clock on this page uses our own copy of tzdata and is not affected.

That is the summer offset Edmonton kept when it stopped changing its clocks in 2026. tzdata has written it as CST since November 1, 2026, the abbreviation used elsewhere in North America for UTC−6 all year; before that, the same offset was MDT.

Local mean solar time at 113.47° W is UTC−7:34, so the clock runs 1 h 34 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 1:34 PM.

The zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/Edmonton page.
