What time is it in Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is currently on standard time, UTC+2:00. The next change is Sunday, March 28, 2027, when clocks go forward one hour — 3:00 am becomes 4:00 am local time.

Sofia is 7 hours ahead of New York and 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 4:00 pm in Sofia.

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 9 hours 50 minutes long in Sofia, and losing 2 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:10 pm, 10 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Sofia sits 27 minutes of solar time west of UTC+2:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 6 hours 17 minutes in Sofia: 15 hours 19 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 9 hours 2 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
