Current Time
The time in Chicago, United States, right now — updating live, with its timezone and UTC offset.
Chicago runs on Central Time. Like every zone on this site, the clock above is computed from Chicago's real IANA timezone identifier, so it stays correct automatically through any daylight saving transitions Chicago observes.
