About Los Angeles Time Zone

Los Angeles, Spain uses the IANA time zone Europe/Madrid, which places it in the same national time system as most of mainland Spain. Its standard-time offset is UTC+1, and its daylight-saving offset is UTC+2, so the local clock shifts seasonally between winter and summer schedules.

Daylight saving time is observed in 2026. On Sunday, March 29, 2026, clocks go forward 1 hour from UTC+1 to UTC+2, and on Sunday, October 25, 2026, clocks go back 1 hour from UTC+2 to UTC+1. That matters for planning meetings with the U.S., the UK, the Gulf, and Asia because the local workday shifts relative to New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, and Dubai depending on the season.

Geographically, Los Angeles is a municipality in Spain with a population of 34,827, and it sits in the central Spanish time system rather than a border zone with a separate national clock.
