CCT is 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead of CST.
CST is US Central winter time (early November to mid-March). The rest of the year Chicago uses CDT (UTC-5), one hour later. For Central Time that follows daylight saving time, use CCT to CT. For daylight-time examples, use CCT to CDT.
How the time difference changes
For most of the year, CCT is 11 hours and 30 minutes ahead of CDT. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, CCT is 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead of CST.
For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in CCT correspond to 9:30 pm (previous day) to 6:30 am in CDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in CCT correspond to 8:30 pm (previous day) to 5:30 am in CST.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in CCT correspond to 21:30 (previous day) to 06:30 in CDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in CCT correspond to 20:30 (previous day) to 05:30 in CST.
