Clocks in Bulgaria change to winter time on October 25 2026

Clocks in Bulgaria change to winter time at 4am on October 25 2026, the final Sunday of the month, going back an hour to 3am.

This marks the end of the annual Daylight Saving Time that in 2026 began on March 29.

Bulgaria remains on winter time until March 28 2027, the final Sunday of that month next year, when clocks will go forward an hour when daylight savings time returns – if it does, pending any changes by then.

In the European Union, initial plans had been that the October 2019 change would be the final one and the system of twice-yearly changes would be scrapped. However, talk of changing the system has receded since then.
