What time is it in American Samoa?

American Samoa stays on UTC−11:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 11 hours behind UTC, and 6 hours behind New York.

Pago Pago is 6 hours behind New York and 3 hours behind Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 3:00 am in Pago Pago.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 12 hours 45 minutes long in Pago Pago, and gaining 1 minute a day. The sun peaks within a few minutes of twelve o’clock, so American Samoa’s offset fits its longitude about as closely as a whole-hour offset can.

Pago Pago lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around February 9 and October 31 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 12 hours 58 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 17 minutes, 101 minutes apart.

American Samoa’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.
