Date and time notation in Brazil records the date using the day–month–year format (16/09/2026 or 16.09.2026). The country follows the national standard NBR 5892:2019 for date and time. It was originally published in 1989 and updated in 2019. In the long format, the day is written as a numeral, followed by the preposition "de" (of), the month written in lowercase, and the year (23 de janeiro de 2024). The time is written using the 24-hour clock (02:46 or 02 h 46 min); in spoken language and informal contexts the 12-hour clock is also commonly adopted.
