Current time in Toronto, Canada

This page is a live clock for Toronto (IANA America/Toronto). It shows Eastern Time in Canada’s largest city—not a duration timer and not the multi-city hub.

Toronto uses EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer. Beijing Time is 13 or 12 hours ahead depending on Toronto DST; this clock applies the switch so you do not keep two offsets in your head.

Keep the tab open for North America stand-ups. Use the world-clock hub to sit Toronto beside New York or Beijing; this landing stays on Toronto.
