What Time Does the Stock Market Open in AZ? Arizona Time Schedule

Early Close Time in Arizona Time
On early close days, markets close at 1:00 p.m. ET instead of 4:00 p.m. ET. In AZ, that's 10:00 AM (summer) / 11:00 AM (winter). Early closes occur on Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and the day before Independence Day.
Daylight Saving Time Impact
Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) does not observe daylight saving time. This means market hours effectively shift: in summer (when the East Coast is on EDT), Arizona aligns with Pacific Time — the market opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 1:00 p.m. In winter (when the East Coast is on EST), Arizona aligns with Mountain Time — the market opens at 7:30 a.m. and closes at 2:00 p.m.
Next Market Holiday
The next scheduled market closure is Thanksgiving on November 26, 2026. See full holiday schedule →
