America/Mexico_City · UTC−6
The current time in Mexico City is Central Standard Time (CST), UTC−6. There is no summer-time switch to allow for, so the offset is the same all year. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so Mexico City now matches Chicago in winter and falls an hour behind it in summer, a change plenty of calendar software still gets wrong. The clock above ticks once a second in the America/Mexico_City zone.

Common questions
- What time is it in Mexico City right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Mexico City, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Mexico City is always UTC−6, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Mexico City?
- UTC−6, all year: Central Standard Time, abbreviated CST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Mexico City observe daylight saving time?
- No. Mexico City stays on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Mexico City?
- America/Mexico_City. 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 Mexico City rather than one fixed number.
