UTC+8 GMT+8 18 IANA zones here today

A fixed offset, not a time zone

UTC+8 never changes for daylight saving. Places do — a country that observes DST sits at this offset for part of the year and a neighbouring one for the rest, which is why the lists below are computed for right now rather than written down once.

Questions people ask

What time is it at UTC+8 right now?

8:56 am (08:56) on Thursday, 13th August 2026. That is a fixed offset from UTC, so it does not shift for daylight saving — but the places listed on this page do move in and out of it as their own clocks change.

Which countries are at UTC+8?

Right now Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, Wuhan, Dongguan are all on this offset. The list is computed live, because a zone that observes daylight saving belongs to a different offset for half the year.

Is UTC+8 the same as GMT+8?

Yes. GMT and UTC show the same clock time; UTC is the modern atomic-clock standard and GMT is the older astronomical name for the same reference. Offsets written either way mean the same thing.
