Live Mexico City time, sunrise, and sunset

This page shows the current time in Mexico City on Central Standard Time (Mexico) — a fixed UTC−6 with no daylight saving for most of the country since 2022 — plus today's sunrise, sunset, and day length.

The clock follows America/Mexico_City year-round. Use the blocks below for the live UTC offset, the gap from your local time, and a short outlook of sunrise and sunset ahead. Copy the iframe from Embed this clock if you want the same live face on another site.

Why Mexico City no longer changes its clocks

Mexico largely dropped nationwide daylight saving in 2022. Mexico City now sits at a steady UTC−6, while US Central still moves between −6 and −5 — so the gap to Chicago is zero in winter and one hour in summer.
