Time in Casablanca Now — Current Local Time. Casablanca is on UTC+00:00 right now — Casablanca is on UTC+00:00 in winter and UTC+01:00 in summer, when daylight saving is in effect. The current local time, date and daylight saving status are shown live by the world clock, which is worked out from the IANA time zone database (Africa/Casablanca), not from a printed table.

What time is it in Casablanca now?
The world clock shows the current time in Casablanca live — the time, the date and the day of the week — updated every second from your device's clock and the IANA time zone database. It is the time in the Africa/Casablanca zone, which covers Casablanca and the surrounding region. The clock does not use a fixed offset: it asks the database what the offset is on today's date, so it is right whether daylight saving is in effect or not. That matters more than it sounds, because Casablanca's offset changes twice a year, and a table printed in January would be wrong in July.
If you need the time in Casablanca for a meeting or a flight, use the live clock rather than a remembered offset. The remembered offset is right most of the year and wrong for a few weeks — the weeks when Casablanca changes its clocks and the place you are calling from has not yet, or has already. The time zone converter handles the date as well as the cities, so it is right on the awkward dates too.
Casablanca's UTC offset
Casablanca is on UTC+00:00 in winter and UTC+01:00 in summer, when daylight saving is in effect.
| Period | Offset | In effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard time | UTC+00:00 | Late autumn to early spring |
| Daylight saving time | UTC+01:00 | From 22 March 2026 to 20 September 2026 in 2026 |
| From the last 2026 change onwards | UTC+00:00 | Permanent — no clock changes in 2027 |
| Right now (11 November 2026) | UTC+00:00 | Standard time is in effect |
The offset is the whole story for conversions. To get the time in Casablanca from UTC, add the offset: when it is 12:00 UTC, it is 13:00 in Casablanca in January and 13:00 in July. To go the other way, subtract it. The UTC converter does the arithmetic for any hour, and the UTC to Casablanca page has the full 24-hour conversion table for this city.
Daylight saving in Casablanca
Casablanca observes daylight saving time. In 2026 the clocks go forward on Sunday, 22 March 2026 and back on Sunday, 20 September 2026; in 2027 there are no clock changes in 2027. The offset moves from UTC+00:00 to UTC+01:00 and back again. Morocco: DST was suspended during Ramadan in 2026 (out 2026-02-15, back 2026-03-22) and then ABOLISHED by Decree No. 2.26.530 — on 2026-09-20 Morocco returned to UTC+0 permanently and has no clock changes in 2027. The 2026 transitions list every change date.
The change happens at 2am local time in most places that observe it: the clocks jump to 3am in spring, so the hour from 02:00 to 03:00 does not exist, and fall back to 1am in autumn, so the hour from 01:00 to 02:00 happens twice. If you are scheduling across the change, check the date — a meeting set for 02:30 on the change day does not exist in spring, and is ambiguous in autumn. The daylight saving checker shows the exact dates for any zone, and the Casablanca DST 2026 page has the full story for this city.
Casablanca working hours in other cities
The table below converts Casablanca's working day — 09:00 to 17:00 local time — into the time in four reference points: UTC, New York, London and Tokyo. It is the table to use when you are working out whether someone in Casablanca is at their desk.
January (northern winter) — when it is the time in the first column in Casablanca, it is the time shown in each other city.
| Time in Casablanca | UTC | New York | London | Tokyo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00 | 08:00 | 03:00 | 08:00 | 17:00 |
| 12:00 | 11:00 | 06:00 | 11:00 | 20:00 |
| 15:00 | 14:00 | 09:00 | 14:00 | 23:00 |
| 17:00 | 16:00 | 11:00 | 16:00 | 01:00 |
July (northern summer) — when it is the time in the first column in Casablanca, it is the time shown in each other city.
| Time in Casablanca | UTC | New York | London | Tokyo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00 | 08:00 | 04:00 | 09:00 | 17:00 |
| 12:00 | 11:00 | 07:00 | 12:00 | 20:00 |
| 15:00 | 14:00 | 10:00 | 15:00 | 23:00 |
| 17:00 | 16:00 | 12:00 | 17:00 | 01:00 |
Read the table from left to right: find the time in Casablanca, then read across to see what time it is in each other city. If the January and July tables differ, the difference is daylight saving — one or more of the cities has changed its clocks between the two dates. The meeting planner does the same conversion for any two cities and any date, and the meeting time finder finds the hours when everyone is available.
Best time to call Casablanca
The best windows to call Casablanca — the hours when Casablanca is in its working day and New York, London and Tokyo are most likely to be awake — are 07:00–22:00 Casablanca time (January, when the offsets are as shown in the table above). These are the hours when at least two of the three hubs are between 07:00 and 22:00 local time, so the call is inside the working day in Casablanca and at a reasonable hour for the other side. Outside these windows, the call is either before the working day in Casablanca or in the middle of the night somewhere else.
As a rule of thumb, the kindest time to call Casablanca from the United States is late morning in New York, which is the afternoon or evening in Casablanca for most of the world east of the Atlantic — and the kindest time from Europe is mid-morning in London, which is late morning or afternoon in Casablanca for most of Asia. The worst time to call is the hour that is 03:00 somewhere: check the tables above before you dial.
About Casablanca and its time zone
Casablanca has had the most complicated clock in the world — and in September 2026 it got simple. Morocco spent most of each year on daylight saving time (UTC+01:00) and suspended it during Ramadan, returning to UTC+0 for the holy month. In 2026 the suspension ran from 15 February to 22 March. Then, by Decree No. 2.26.530 of 25 June 2026, Morocco abolished daylight saving altogether: on 20 September 2026 the clocks went back to UTC+0 for the last time, and Morocco now stays on UTC+0 all year, with no clock changes in 2027.
Casablanca is in the Africa region, and its IANA time zone is Africa/Casablanca. That name is the identifier computers use: when your phone, your calendar or this website works out the time in Casablanca, it looks up Africa/Casablanca in the IANA Time Zone Database and applies the rules for that zone on the date you asked about. The rules include the standard offset, the daylight saving dates and the whole history of changes — which is why the answer is right even for dates in the past, when the rules were different.
The practical consequence is that the time in Casablanca is not a fixed number. It is two numbers — the winter offset and the summer offset — and which one applies depends on the date. Any tool that only knows one of them will be wrong for half the year. The time zone list shows every zone in the database with its current offset, and the guides explain how the system works.
Casablanca compared with the world's major cities
When it is 12:00 in Casablanca, it is:
| City | January | July |
|---|---|---|
| New York | 06:00 | 07:00 |
| London | 11:00 | 12:00 |
| Paris | 12:00 | 13:00 |
| Dubai | 15:00 | 15:00 |
| Mumbai | 16:30 | 16:30 |
| Singapore | 19:00 | 19:00 |
| Tokyo | 20:00 | 20:00 |
| Sydney | 22:00 | 21:00 |
The January and July columns differ wherever one of the cities observes daylight saving and the other does not, or where they change their clocks on different dates.
How to convert Casablanca time
Three worked examples, all for January, when Casablanca is on UTC+01:00: 09:00 in Casablanca is 08:00 UTC, 08:00 in London and 03:00 in New York. 12:00 in Casablanca is 11:00 UTC and 20:00 in Tokyo. 17:00 in Casablanca — the end of the working day — is 16:00 UTC and 11:00 in New York. In July, when Casablanca is on UTC+01:00, add or subtract the difference between the two offsets — there is none, because the offset does not change — from each of those answers.
