Moscow is 10 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 Moscow doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 1, 2026: Moscow ahead by 11 hours
- From around March 14, 2027: Moscow ahead by 10 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Moscow and Los Angeles don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 12 PM in Los Angeles, which is 5 PM to 10 PM in Moscow, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
