It is 00:35 on Saturday, October 3, 2026 in Accra, Ghana. The city runs on UTC+0 (GMT), which puts it 3 hours ahead of Brasília.
Time zone and UTC offset in Accra
Accra follows the Africa/Accra time zone, abbreviated GMT. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC+0.
Accra does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC+0 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 3 hours. That makes scheduling predictable: a meeting booked for any date of the year at a given Brasília time always lands at the same local time in Accra.
Time difference between Brasília and Accra
To convert, take Brasília time and add 3 hours; when the sum passes midnight, the date in Accra is already the next day. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Accra is 09:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 21:00 (previous day) in Brasília. Because Accra is ahead, its calendar date is one day later than in Brasília from 21:00 until midnight Brasília time. Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.

Best time to call Accra from Brazil
Taking a 9:00 to 18:00 working day on both sides, the shared window runs from 09:00 to 15:00 in Brasília, which is 12:00 to 18:00 in Accra. That leaves 6 hours of overlap: enough for most meetings, but book early.
