Daylight saving right now

Brasília Time

America/Sao_Paulo is currently on UTC-03:00 (UTC-03:00). That is not BRT — this page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.

no clock change scheduled — this zone is fixed at UTC-03:00

Brasília Time is UTC-3. Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so the offset no longer moves — a rule change many stale converters still get wrong.

Coordinated Universal Time

UTC is on UTC (UTC+00:00).

no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+00:00

UTC is the reference clock every other offset is quoted against. It has no daylight saving and never shifts.

Every hour as its own page

UTC to BRT — questions

What time is it in BRT when it is UTC now?
BRT is currently 21:25 on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 (UTC-03:00, UTC-03:00), while UTC is 00:25 (UTC+00:00). That is 3 hours behind the source clock right now.
How many hours behind is BRT of UTC?
3 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Coordinated Universal Time and Brasília Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is BRT on daylight saving time right now?
No. America/Sao_Paulo is on UTC-03:00 (UTC-03:00) at the moment.
Does BRT observe daylight saving time?
No. America/Sao_Paulo stays on UTC-03:00 all year, so the difference from UTC only moves when UTC itself changes.
What is the best time to schedule a call between UTC and BRT?
There are 6 hours of overlap where both sides are inside a 09:00-18:00 working day. The longest block is 12:00–18:00 UTC, which is 09:00–15:00 BRT. Use the calendar buttons above to drop it straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for BRT in code?
Use America/Sao_Paulo. Abbreviations like BRT are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC-03:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
