Time zone facts for Tel Aviv

  • IANA time zone: Asia/Jerusalem
  • Standard offset: UTC+2
  • Daylight saving: observed — the offset moves to UTC+3 while DST is active (the live clock above already reflects today's status).
  • January / July offset: UTC+2 / UTC+3
  • Offset as of September 2026: UTC+3 — daylight saving in effect
  • Next clock change: clocks go back 1 hour on Sunday, October 25, 2026 (local date), moving the offset from UTC+3 to UTC+2

How Tel Aviv's offset moves through the year

Tel Aviv keeps two offsets: UTC+2 in January and UTC+3 in July. The clocks move between them twice a year, and each move changes the difference between Tel Aviv and every place that does not move at the same instant. As of September 2026, the offset is UTC+3, so daylight saving is in effect.

The coming cycle, derived from the IANA time zone database as of September 2026: the clocks next go back 1 hour on Sunday, October 25, 2026 (Tel Aviv local date), taking the offset from UTC+3 to UTC+2. The change after that comes 152 days later, on Friday, March 26, 2027, when the clocks go forward 1 hour and the offset returns from UTC+2 to UTC+3. Those 152 days are the standard-time part of the year for Tel Aviv.

Read those two dates alongside the partner's dates for any city you work with. If the partner does not observe daylight saving, the gap to it changes on exactly these two dates. If it does, the gap changes only where the two calendars disagree — not at all when both sides switch at the same instants, otherwise on every date where one side has shifted and the other has not yet. The table below works that out for the reference cities.

Set against the reference cities, as of September 2026: Tel Aviv's next change comes 2 hours before London's (Sunday, October 25, 2026, London date) and 7 days before New York's (Sunday, November 1, 2026, New York date). Tokyo has no change of its own scheduled within the next 15 months, so its gap to Tel Aviv moves on Tel Aviv's dates alone. Which city moves first is what shapes each of the mismatch windows set out below.

The gap to London, New York, and Tokyo across the year

The differences below were computed at build time by scanning the coming twelve months of the IANA time zone database for each pair, locating every instant at which either city changes its clocks, and reading the gap on each side of it. "As of September 2026" is the gap today; "over the year" is the full range the pair takes before the same month comes round again, from Tel Aviv's point of view.

Tel Aviv's difference from each reference city, as of September 2026. Derived from the IANA time zone database at build time.
Reference Tel Aviv is, as of September 2026 Over the coming year Why
London 2 hours ahead 1 hour ahead to 3 hours ahead (3 distinct values) both change clocks, on different dates
New York 7 hours ahead 6 hours ahead to 7 hours ahead both change clocks, on different dates
Tokyo 6 hours behind 6 hours behind to 7 hours behind only Tel Aviv changes its clocks

None of the three gaps holds still for the whole year. The mechanism in each case is set out below, with the exact instants at which the gap moves.

Tel Aviv and London

As of September 2026, Tel Aviv is 2 hours ahead of London. Both Tel Aviv and London change their clocks, but not at the same instants. Between one side's transition and the other's, only one shift has happened, so the gap briefly holds a value it holds only inside these mismatch windows. The gap changes 4 times in the coming twelve months; the briefest such window lasts 2 hours, from Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 AM GMT+2 to Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3:00 AM GMT+2 (Tel Aviv time), during which Tel Aviv is 1 hour ahead of London.

  • From Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 AM GMT+2 (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 1 hour ahead of London.
  • From Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3:00 AM GMT+2 (Tel Aviv time), when London changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 2 hours ahead of London.
  • From Friday, March 26, 2027 at 3:00 AM GMT+3 (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 3 hours ahead of London.
  • From Sunday, March 28, 2027 at 4:00 AM GMT+3 (Tel Aviv time), when London changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 2 hours ahead of London.

Each of those windows is opened by one city's change and closed by the other's. The first, from Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 AM GMT+2 to Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3:00 AM GMT+2 (Tel Aviv time), opens when Tel Aviv's clocks go back and closes 2 hours later when London's go back. In between, London is on daylight time and Tel Aviv on standard time, so Tel Aviv is 1 hour ahead of London against 2 hours ahead on either side of it. The second, from March 26, 2027 to March 28, 2027 (Tel Aviv dates), opens when Tel Aviv's clocks go forward and closes 2 days later when London's go forward. In between, Tel Aviv is on daylight time and London on standard time, so Tel Aviv is 3 hours ahead of London against 2 hours ahead on either side of it. Tel Aviv is the first to move in every window, and the longest of them lasts 2 days.

Tel Aviv and New York

As of September 2026, Tel Aviv is 7 hours ahead of New York. Both Tel Aviv and New York change their clocks, but not at the same instants. Between one side's transition and the other's, only one shift has happened, so the gap briefly holds a value it holds only inside these mismatch windows. The gap changes 4 times in the coming twelve months; the briefest such window lasts 7 days, from October 25, 2026 to November 1, 2026 (Tel Aviv dates), during which Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York.

  • From Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York.
  • From Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 8:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when New York changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 7 hours ahead of New York.
  • From Sunday, March 14, 2027 at 9:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when New York changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York.
  • From Friday, March 26, 2027 at 3:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 7 hours ahead of New York.

Each of those windows is opened by one city's change and closed by the other's. The first, from October 25, 2026 to November 1, 2026 (Tel Aviv dates), opens when Tel Aviv's clocks go back and closes 7 days later when New York's go back. In between, New York is on daylight time and Tel Aviv on standard time, so Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York against 7 hours ahead on either side of it. The second, from March 14, 2027 to March 26, 2027 (Tel Aviv dates), opens when New York's clocks go forward and closes 12 days later when Tel Aviv's go forward. In between, New York is on daylight time and Tel Aviv on standard time, so Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York against 7 hours ahead on either side of it. Which city moves first differs from window to window, and the longest of them lasts 12 days.

Tel Aviv and Tokyo

As of September 2026, Tel Aviv is 6 hours behind Tokyo. Tel Aviv changes its clocks for daylight saving and Tokyo does not. Each Tel Aviv transition therefore moves the gap by the full size of that shift, and nothing ever moves it back except the next Tel Aviv transition. The gap changes twice in the coming twelve months, always on Tel Aviv's dates — Tokyo's calendar plays no part.

  • From Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 7 hours behind Tokyo.
  • From Friday, March 26, 2027 at 3:00 AM (Tel Aviv time), when Tel Aviv changes clocks: Tel Aviv is 6 hours behind Tokyo.

Ranked by how many of the 365 scanned days each gap spends at its most common value, from Tel Aviv's point of view: London 363 (2 hours ahead), New York 346 (7 hours ahead), and Tokyo 213 (6 hours behind). The two kinds of movement are not alike. The gap to New York changes 4 times in the year yet is away from its usual value for only 19 days in total, because each departure ends as soon as the other city catches up. The gap to Tokyo changes only twice, but each change stands until the next one, so it spends 152 days away from its most common value.

Working hours that overlap

Assume a 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM working day in Tel Aviv and the same in each reference city. The overlap is then a plain consequence of the gap, and it changes whenever the gap does — so where a pair takes more than one gap during the year, both readings are given. As of September 2026:

  • London: 6 hours — 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in London. When Tel Aviv is 3 hours ahead of London — at other times of the year — the overlap is 5 hours — 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in London. When Tel Aviv is 1 hour ahead of London — at other times of the year — the overlap is 7 hours — 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in London.
  • New York: 1 hour — 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM in New York. When Tel Aviv is 6 hours ahead of New York — the rest of the year — the overlap is 2 hours — 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in New York.
  • Tokyo: 2 hours — 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Tel Aviv, which is 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Tokyo. When Tel Aviv is 7 hours behind Tokyo — the rest of the year — the overlap is 1 hour — 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Tel Aviv, which is 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Tokyo.

The 9-to-5 window is a convention, not a fact about anyone's hours. The Meeting Planner takes each participant's actual working hours and evaluates the overlap for the specific date, so a slot chosen in one season is still checked against the other side's clock in the next.
