Sydney is 18 hours ahead of Los Angeles from March 8 to April 5 and from October 4 to November 1, 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles from April 5 to October 4, and 19 hours ahead the rest of 2026.

What time is it in Sydney when it's 9 AM in Los Angeles?

Until March 14, 2027, 9:00 AM in Los Angeles is 4:00 AM in Sydney, noon in Los Angeles is 7:00 AM in Sydney, and 5:00 PM in Los Angeles is 12:00 PM in Sydney.

When do working hours overlap?

Until March 14, 2027, 3 hours of a 9-to-5 day overlap: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Los Angeles is 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Sydney.

Why does the gap change twice as much as I expect?

Australia's summer is the northern winter, so its clocks go forward around the time US and European clocks go back, and the other way around in spring. When both sides switch in opposite directions the gap changes by two hours over a few weeks.
