How many time zones does Mexico have?
Mexico is split across 3 time zones, from UTC-07:00 in the east to UTC-05:00 in the west. That means the local time can be up to 2 hours apart between two cities in the same country.
Does Mexico change its clocks for daylight saving?
Yes. At least part of Mexico uses daylight saving time. The clocks jump forward one hour in spring and fall back one hour in autumn, so the UTC offset changes for part of the year. Want the full picture? Read our guide to daylight saving time.
How to convert time in Mexico
For a quick UTC comparison using the main displayed clock: 12:00 UTC = 06:00 local time, and 09:00 local time = 15:00 UTC. If Mexico has more than one time zone, use the city and IANA zone links on this page for the exact local rule, or drop any two places into the time zone converter to get the answer instantly.
