America/Sao_Paulo · UTC−3
Brazil sits at UTC−3 on Brasília Time (BRT) and stays there all year, with no seasonal clock change. Brazil scrapped daylight saving in 2019, so São Paulo, Rio and Brasília now hold UTC−3 all year. The country still spans four zones from the Atlantic islands to Acre. Above you can see the live local time along with today's date and the day of the week, read from the America/Sao_Paulo zone.

Common questions
- What time is it in Brazil right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Brazil, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Brazil is always UTC−3, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Brazil?
- UTC−3, all year: Brasília Time, abbreviated BRT. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Brazil observe daylight saving time?
- No. Brazil stays on Brasília Time (UTC−3) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Brazil?
- America/Sao_Paulo. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Brazil rather than one fixed number.
