New York to Los Angeles Time Converter

Data generated: July 31, 2026

New York and Los Angeles anchor opposite coasts of the largest domestic market WorldClockify serves, and the three-hour gap between them is one of the most consistent time differences on this site.

Because both cities observe US daylight saving time on the same dates, the offset never changes across the year.

That consistency makes it easy to build a recurring meeting slot that works every week without adjustment.

The practical constraint is the workday itself: a standard 9-to-5 in Los Angeles only opens up in the late morning for New York, and a New York afternoon is already evening on the West Coast.

As of July 31, 2026, New York is 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles (New York is UTC-4, Los Angeles is UTC-7). New York is currently on daylight saving time; Los Angeles is currently on daylight saving time.
