It is 20:36 on Friday, October 2, 2026 in Antigua, Antigua & Barbuda. The city runs on UTC-4 (AST), which puts it 1 hour behind Brasília.
Time zone and UTC offset in Antigua
Antigua follows the America/Antigua time zone, abbreviated AST. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC-4.
Antigua does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC-4 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 1 hour. 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 Antigua.
Time difference between Brasília and Antigua
To convert, take Brasília time and subtract 1 hour; early in the morning in Brasília it may still be the previous day in Antigua. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Antigua is 13:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 01:00 in Brasília. Because Antigua is behind, its calendar date is still the previous day in the first 1 hour after midnight in Brasília (until 01:00). Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.
