What time is it in area code 314?
Area code 314 is in the Central time zone: UTC−6 in winter and UTC−5 while daylight saving time is in effect. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026. When it is 9 am in 314, it is 10 am Eastern, 8 am Mountain and 7 am Pacific – so a call in business hours here arrives later in the day on the east coast. The code's largest rate centers are ST LOUIS, LADUE and KIRKWOOD, as NANPA abbreviates them. Other codes keeping the same time in Missouri: 235, 417, 557, 573, 636, 660, 816 and 975.
Clocks run in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so they stay right between page rebuilds.

Questions about 314 and time
What time is it in area code 314?
The clock above shows it live. 314 keeps Central time, UTC−6 in winter and UTC−5 in summer.
Does area code 314 observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026.
Is 314 the same time as New York?
No. New York is Eastern time; 314 is Central (UTC−6 against UTC in winter), so work out the difference from the clock above rather than assuming.
Why does a 314 caller reach me at an odd hour?
Two common reasons. Either the clocks differ by more than you expected – the offset changes twice a year and not everywhere on the same date – or the caller ID is not really 314 at all. Spam callers fake a local-looking number, so the displayed code says nothing about where the call came from.
