It is 05:05 on Saturday, October 3, 2026 in Kabul, Afghanistan. The city runs on UTC+4:30, which puts it 7 hours 30 minutes ahead of Brasília.
Time zone and UTC offset in Kabul
Kabul follows the Asia/Kabul time zone (this zone has no widely used letter abbreviation). Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC+4:30. Note the 30-minute fraction: unlike most of the world, this zone is not set on a whole hour, so the difference from Brasília is not a round number of hours either.
Kabul does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC+4:30 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 7 hours 30 minutes. 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 Kabul.
Time difference between Brasília and Kabul
To convert, take Brasília time and add 7 hours 30 minutes; when the sum passes midnight, the date in Kabul is already the next day. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Kabul is 04:30 in Brasília, and local midnight is 16:30 (previous day) in Brasília. Because Kabul is ahead, its calendar date is one day later than in Brasília from 16:30 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 Kabul from Brazil
Taking a 9:00 to 18:00 working day on both sides, the shared window runs from 09:00 to 10:30 in Brasília, which is 16:30 to 18:00 in Kabul. That is only 1 hour 30 minutes, so one or two slots a day are all you get; confirm the time in advance.
