Michigan Daylight Saving Time 2026 – When to Fall Back

As fall approaches in Michigan, I have seen a few posts on social media regarding Daylight Saving Time. Yep, we are still doing it. Ugh.

The first day of fall is Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026. However, we do not 'fall back' until Sunday, November 1st, 2026, at 2:00 AM. I know I am not the only one who dreads this.

For many Michiganders, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. When it's dark at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM, it is hard to want to do anything other than go home and go to bed.

We will get used to it, just like we do every year - but it still sucks.

There always seems to be talk about ending Daylight Saving Time in Michigan. Year after year, the debate continues, proposals are introduced, and people wonder if this will finally be the year Michigan stops changing its clocks. But somehow, here we are again, still changing the clocks twice a year.

As for when we spring forward, that will happen on Sunday, March 14th, 2027. Chances are, around that time, there will be rumblings about finally ending Daylight Saving Time once again.

I am just going to call it like I see it - Daylight Saving Time is never going to end in the Great Lakes State. At least not in my lifetime.

Make the most of the next few months - the darkness is coming.
