About Kampala Time (EAT)

Kampala is located in Uganda and uses the Africa/Kampala time zone. For anyone coordinating calls or meetings internationally, the key question is rarely "what time is it" — it's which hours in Kampala overlap with your own working day. Use the world clock comparison further down the page to see at a glance how Kampala aligns with other major cities.

Scheduling tip: Always reference a city name in calendar invites rather than a fixed UTC offset. Calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook will automatically adjust for any clock changes on both ends, so your meeting stays at the intended local time for everyone involved.
