Live · accurateWhat is the time difference between the UK and New York?
Direct answer. New York is normally 5 hours behind the UK.
New York uses US Eastern Time, which observes daylight saving — but on a different schedule from the UK. The US changes its clocks two to three weeks before the UK in spring and about a week after in autumn, so for roughly three weeks each year the gap narrows to 4 hours.
Key fact: New York is usually 5 hours behind the UK, but 4 hours behind for about three weeks a year while one country has changed its clocks and the other has not.
