Brazil has 4 different time zones: UTC−5 (Acre Standard Time), UTC−4 (Amazon Standard Time), UTC−3 (Brasilia Standard Time), UTC−2 (Fernando de Noronha Standard Time). The main clock shows the time in Brasília; the table above shows the current time in each zone.
Brasília does not observe daylight saving time: the time is UTC−3 all year round.
The time is calculated using the official IANA time zone database (version 2026.1), the same one used by operating systems and mobile phones, and it is synchronized with our server clock to correct any drift on your device.
