CET to AKST Converter

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Central European Time and Alaska Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Alaska Time is 10 hours behind Central European Time.

With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:

• 5 PM–8 PM in Central European Time (7 AM–10 AM in Alaska Time) — suggest 6:00 PM Central European Time (8:00 AM Alaska Time).

This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.

Central European Time is also known as CET, or CEST. To call France, dial +33.

Alaska Time is also known as AKST, or AKDT. To call United States, dial +1.

Alaska Time is approximately 4,700 miles north of Central European Time.

Both zones observe daylight saving time, but they transition on different dates.

Central European Time: next transition on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Alaska Time: next transition on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

For approximately 7 days between transitions, the offset between Central European Time and Alaska Time differs from its typical value. Recurring meetings during this window will shift by one hour.

See the daylight saving time page for transition dates across every time zone.
