What is GMT in EET?
Eastern European Time is 3 hours ahead
Greenwich Mean Time is on UTC+0:00 and Eastern European Time is on UTC+3:00 right now. Eastern European Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read EEST. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes
Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern European 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 – October 25, 2026Eastern European Time is 3 hours ahead
- October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027Eastern European Time is 2 hours ahead
- March 28, 2027 – onwardsEastern European Time is 3 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
Greenwich Mean Time
Greenwich Mean Time stays on GMT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
Eastern European Time
Clocks go back one hour at 2am local time, becoming EET.
