Morocco will switch back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+1) on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at 3:00 AM local time, when clocks will be set back to 2:00 AM. This change marks the end of daylight saving time (DST) for the year, as the country follows a seasonal time adjustment policy.
The decision is based on the official calendar published by the Moroccan government, which sets the DST period from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of September. In 2026, DST began on March 29, when clocks moved forward to UTC+2.
This practice, reinstated in 2018 after a brief suspension, aims to optimize energy consumption and align with international schedules. The time change affects all regions of Morocco, including Western Sahara.
