# Changing Time Zones in Jenkins

By default, the timezone is in UTC.

If you want to change the timezone to a different one:

1. Navigate to **Build Triggers**.
2. Check the **Build Periodically** option.
3. Define the **Schedule** as:
    
    `TZ=EST5EDT`
    
    `0 16 * * 1-5`

4. This means we are setting the timezone to be EST and setting the run time at 16:00 PM from Monday to Friday.
 
For more timezone codes, please refer to[>Time Zones information at Java Locale for “English (United States)” (en-US) at LocalePlanet](https://www.localeplanet.com/java/en-US/index.html).
