Time difference between Los Angeles and Hong Kong
Los Angeles

Hong Kong

Hong Kong is 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Los Angeles changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Hong Kong doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 1, 2026: Hong Kong ahead by 16 hours
- From around March 14, 2027: Hong Kong ahead by 15 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Hong Kong and Los Angeles don't overlap. The most workable window is 4 PM to 10 PM in Los Angeles, which is 7 AM to 1 PM in Hong Kong, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
