Longest and shortest day in Calgary
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 33m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 54m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 39m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:29 pm on 12 December; the latest is 9:55 pm on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 5:21 am on 16 June to 8:39 am on 30 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Calgary different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:38, a full 38 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 1:38 pm.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 35 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 51.1°N accounts for the 11-minute difference.
Photographers get 66 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.6× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 8h 39m here — among the widest of the 83 cities tracked in Canada.
Over a year the sunset point slides 79° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.
Sunset drifts 117 seconds earlier each day this month — 59 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 1 November 2026: sunset goes from 6:11 pm the evening before to 6:09 pm that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Calgary
Arrive by 7:36 pm. Golden hour opens at 7:51 pm and the sun is down by 8:36 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 288° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 8:58 pm and runs to 9:11 pm, the end of civil twilight and 35m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
