🕙 Epic's weekly swap time around the world
- US Central: Thursday 10:00 AM CT
- US Eastern: Thursday 11:00 AM ET
- US Pacific: Thursday 8:00 AM PT
- UK: Thursday 4:00 PM (3:00 PM for the week or so when US and UK clock changes don't line up)
- Central Europe: Thursday 5:00 PM CET
- India: Thursday 9:30 PM IST (8:30 PM during US daylight saving)
- Australia (Sydney): Friday 2:00 AM AEDT (3:00 AM once US daylight saving ends)
