Delaware operates on Eastern Standard Time (EST) during winter months, which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). During daylight saving time, observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, Delaware switches to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4.
All of Delaware follows the same time zone. Major cities including Wilmington, Dover, Newark, Middletown, and Smyrna all observe Eastern Time. This makes scheduling across Delaware straightforward, as there's no time difference within the state.
Delaware is in the Eastern Time Zone and is home to many corporate headquarters. When it's 9 AM in Wilmington, it's 6 AM in Los Angeles and 2 PM in London, making it convenient for transatlantic business operations.
