When the difference changes
Alaska Time and Argentina Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:
- Now – November 1, 2026Argentina Time is 5 hours ahead
- November 1, 2026 – March 14, 2027Argentina Time is 6 hours ahead
- March 14, 2027 – onwardsArgentina Time is 5 hours ahead
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.
Daylight saving
Alaska Time
Clocks go back one hour at 2am local time, becoming AKST.
Argentina Time
