24-Hour Clock Chart: Every Hour From 00:00 to 23:00

A shift schedule says the next rotation starts at 17:45. A European rail timetable lists a departure at 09:20. A server log timestamps an error at 23:07. In each case, someone reading in 12-hour time needs the same thing: an instant translation, not a lesson in how the 24-hour clock works.

That's what this page is for. Below is the full run of hours from 00:00 to 23:00, grouped by time of day so you're scanning six or seven rows instead of twenty-four, plus a lookup table for the odd-minute times people actually search for. If you want the full explanation of how the 24-hour clock works or the step-by-step conversion method, the beginner's guide and the conversion walkthrough cover those in full; this page is the reference itself.

Three things to know before you scan: every row lists the same instant three ways — the 24-hour time, its military-time form (same hour, no colon), and the 12-hour clock equivalent with AM or PM. The far right column adds a plain-language part of the day, so a search for "what's 21:00" or "is 6 PM evening or afternoon" gets answered on the same line.

The rows are grouped into seven blocks — night, early morning, morning, midday, afternoon, evening, and late night — instead of one unbroken list of twenty-four rows. If you already know roughly when your time falls, jump straight to that block rather than scanning from the top.

This is the version built to scan quickly, not to teach the rule behind it — for the reasoning at each boundary hour, the complete 12-hour vs 24-hour guide walks through it, and the interactive chart tool lets you copy or print any row.

Every row above sits on the hour, because a chart with all 1,440 minutes of a day would be unreadable. The good news is that nothing about the hour label changes for any other minute inside that hour. 14:52 follows exactly the same rule as 14:00 — it's still afternoon, still in the subtract-12 range — so it becomes 2:52 PM, not a new calculation.

The only place this needs a second look is right at the edge of an hour: the last minute of 11:59 AM is followed immediately by 12:00 PM, not 1:00 PM, because the hour number rolls over at each new hour, not at each new count of twelve. For the full method — including how to handle 12 AM and 12 PM specifically — see the step-by-step conversion guide.

A handful of odd-minute times get searched more than any full hour. Here are ten of the most common, worked once so you don't have to:

This chart and a military time chart describe the same 24 hours — the difference is entirely in formatting and delivery, not in the underlying time. This page keeps the colon (17:00) because that's how the 24-hour clock is usually written in everyday, transport, and computing contexts. Military time drops the colon and is spoken a specific way — 1700, said "seventeen hundred" — a convention covered in full, hour by hour, in the military time chart. If you specifically need the spoken form or the four-digit style used in military and aviation logs, that's the more direct reference.

A chart like this earns its place on a page, rather than a single lookup, when someone needs several hours at once. Shift workers cross-checking a roster written in 24-hour blocks, travelers reading a European or Asian train or flight timetable, and anyone scanning server or application logs timestamped in 24-hour time all reach for the whole day at a glance rather than converting one hour and moving on. Streaming guides and broadcast schedules outside North America often list programming the same way, so a full reference saves the back-and-forth of converting each entry by hand.

• Reading the 12:00 row as midnight. It's noon — midnight is the 00:00 row at the very top. The midnight vs. noon guide covers why the numbers work this way.
• Dropping the leading zero when copying a time out of the chart — writing 09:00 as 9:00 loses the whole point of the 24-hour format.
• Treating military 0000 and 2400 as two different times to worry about. They're both midnight; the military midnight guide explains when each is actually used.
• Reading the "Military" column with a colon. Military time is written as a plain four-digit block; the colon belongs to the 24-hour column next to it.

This page's print layout drops the navigation and keeps only the chart itself, so the browser's print command (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) produces a clean copy. For a version built specifically to save, print, or export, use the dedicated 24-hour clock chart tool — it holds the same data in a format meant to live on a wall or in a binder rather than a browser tab.
