What does 6pm ET mean? ›

The term Eastern Time (ET) is often used to denote the local time in areas observing either Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) or Eastern Standard Time (EST). In other words, in locations observing Daylight Saving Time (DST) during part of the year, Eastern Time is not static but switches between EDT and EST.

ET stands for Eastern Time. It's a catch-all term that refers to EST or EDT, whichever currently applies. If you're in an area that observes Daylight Saving Time and you're not sure whether to use EDT or EST, it's always safe to use ET.
