What time is it in Arizona?

Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time all year and skips daylight saving, so for roughly half the year it matches California and for the other half it matches Denver. The exception is the Navajo Nation in the north-east of the state, which does observe daylight saving.

Time zone facts

Sunrise and sunset today

Good to know

• Arizona opted out of daylight saving in 1968 — the desert heat made an extra hour of evening sun unwelcome.
• In summer Phoenix has the same clock as Los Angeles; in winter it matches Denver.
• The Navajo Nation within Arizona does change its clocks, while the Hopi Reservation inside it does not.
