Detecting your time zone to suggest the best hour to call…
Moscow keeps Moscow Standard Time (UTC+3) permanently; Russia stopped changing its clocks in 2011 and settled Moscow on year-round UTC+3 in 2014, so there is no summer shift.
Moscow stays on UTC+3 all year and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time.

FAQ
What time is it in Moscow right now?
The live clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Moscow, refreshed every second. Moscow is on UTC+3 year-round, and the clock is calculated directly from that official time zone so it always accounts for daylight saving time automatically.
What time zone is Moscow in?
Moscow stays on UTC+3 all year and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time. The "compare to your time zone" section above converts any Moscow time into your own local time instantly.
Does Moscow observe daylight saving time?
No. Moscow keeps the same UTC+3 offset all year, so the time difference between Moscow and other places only changes when the *other* place moves on or off daylight saving time.
How do I convert Moscow time to my time zone?
The converter above detects your device's time zone and shows, hour by hour, what a given Moscow time is where you are. For planning a call across several cities at once, open the World Clock meeting planner, which lays out a colour-coded 24-hour grid.
What is the dialing code for Moscow?
To call Moscow from abroad, dial the country code +7 before the local number. The card at the top of this page shows it alongside the live local time so you can check it is a reasonable hour before you call.
What are the best hours to call Moscow?
The "best time to call" line above detects your own time zone and shows the window when normal waking hours (roughly 8am–9pm) overlap in both places, so neither side is woken up. It updates live, so it already accounts for daylight saving on both ends.
