About Time in Anchorage
Anchorage runs on Alaska Time: Alaska Standard Time (UTC-9) in winter and Alaska Daylight Time (UTC-8) in summer, which keeps almost the whole state one hour behind the U.S. West Coast. Alaska's far-northern latitude means daylight itself swings from a few hours in midwinter to nearly around the clock in midsummer, no matter what the clocks say.
Anchorage's working day starts an hour after the U.S. West Coast and overlaps the U.S. East Coast only in the Alaska morning; there is essentially no overlap with Europe or Asia. The Meeting Planner can pin down whatever window exists on a given day.
- Country: Alaska, USA
- UTC offset: UTC-9 (AKST) / UTC-8 (AKDT)
- Daylight saving: Alaska observes daylight saving time on the standard U.S. schedule — clocks move forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
