UTC-5 GMT-5 29 IANA zones here today

A fixed offset, not a time zone

UTC-5 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-5 right now?

4:23 am (04:23) on Sunday, 27th September 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-5?

Right now Lima, Bogotá, Quito, Guayaquil, Chicago, Cali, Houston, Medellín 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-5 the same as GMT-5?

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.
