It is 17:34 on Friday, October 2, 2026 in Phoenix, United States. The city runs on UTC-7 (MST), which puts it 4 hours behind Brasília.
Time zone and UTC offset in Phoenix
Phoenix follows the America/Phoenix time zone, abbreviated MST. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC-7.
Phoenix does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC-7 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 4 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 Phoenix.
Time difference between Brasília and Phoenix
To convert, take Brasília time and subtract 4 hours; early in the morning in Brasília it may still be the previous day in Phoenix. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Phoenix is 16:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 04:00 in Brasília. Because Phoenix is behind, its calendar date is still the previous day in the first 4 hours after midnight in Brasília (until 04:00). Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.
