ET (Eastern Time) is 5 hours behind UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). This means when it's 12:00 PM in UTC (UTC), it's 7:00 AM in New York (ET).
The best time to call from UTC to ET is during overlapping business hours. For UTC callers, schedule between 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM UTC to ensure both parties are within standard business hours.
The time difference may change during daylight saving transitions if one region observes DST while the other doesn't. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+0) and Eastern Time (UTC-5 (EST) / UTC-4 (EDT)) may have different DST schedules.
UTC includes cities like UTC. ET includes cities like New York. Both time zones cover important business and cultural centers.
In 2025, DST in North America starts on March 9 at 2:00 AM and ends on November 2 at 2:00 AM. Other regions may have different DST schedules or not observe DST at all.
