Pacific Time

Pacific Time (PT) is a general term used to describe the areas that observe either the Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in North America. PT also called Pacific Coast Time. PT is not static but switches between PDT and PST.

Territories observing the Pacific Time Zone are primarily in North America. It runs through the western United States and the Northwestern part of Mexico. From November 1, 2026, most of British Columbia in Canada keeps UTC-7 all year instead.

Countries using this time zone: Mexico, United States

Principal Cities: The largest city in the PT time zone is Los Angeles in the United States, with about 3.821 million people. Other major cities in this time zone include Tijuana, San Diego, Mexicali, San Jose.
