Time in Cuba
Shown above is the current time across Cuba, alongside the time zone Cuba keeps and the live local time in its main cities.
The whole of Cuba runs on a single time, CDT (UTC-4) — so every city listed on this page reads exactly the same clock.
Cuba does move its clocks for part of the year. The next change lands on 1 November 2026 — and because of it, the gap between Cuba and any country that stays on one fixed offset all year shifts by an hour on that date.
