Year CSV09:00 EST to BST throughout 2026
09:00 in EST converts to 15:00 in BST on every date in 2026. The destination has the same calendar date.
Every calendar date is included, not just workdays. Date ranges include both endpoints. Based on IANA 2026e; future rules may change.
DON’T LOSE A DAY
When does EST time become a different date in BST?
Your complete source day: 2026-11-03. Each range shows which destination date to use.
EST · 2026-11-0300:00–18:00UTC−05:00
BST · 2026-11-0306:00–24:00UTC+01:00 Same date

BST · 2026-11-0400:00–06:00UTC+01:00 Next day
Range starts are included; ends are excluded. 24:00 means midnight at the end of that date. Repeated hours appear separately with their UTC offsets. The strip is proportional to elapsed time.
