Dubai is 9 hours ahead of Chicago for most of 2026.
How the difference changes in 2026
The two cities change their clocks for daylight saving on different dates (or only one of them does), so the gap is not the same all year.

| 1 January – 7 March | Dubai is 10 hours ahead of Chicago |
| 8 March – 31 October | Dubai is 9 hours ahead of Chicago |
| 1 November – 31 December | Dubai is 10 hours ahead of Chicago |
