Fix SharePoint Calendar Times Differ from List View
Question details
The user is experiencing mismatched start and end times for events when switching between the SharePoint calendar view and the All Items list view.
- Product
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Viewing event schedules in different layout formats within a SharePoint site.
- Observed behavior
- Event times display differently in the Calendar view compared to the All Items list view, often due to time zone or regional setting mismatches.
Ensure you have the necessary permissions to view and modify your personal Microsoft 365 profile settings, as well as access to the site settings if you are a site owner.
Sync Personal Region Settings with Site Settings
The most common cause of time discrepancies is a mismatch between the individual user's personal time zone settings and the SharePoint site's default time zone.
Click on your profile picture or initials in the top right corner of the SharePoint page, and select 'My Office profile' or 'View account'.
Go to the Settings & Privacy section and locate your personal 'Language and Region' preferences.
As a site owner, click the Gear icon, select 'Site Information', click 'View all site settings', and then click 'Regional settings' to view the site's default time zone.
Update your personal time zone configuration so it perfectly matches the site's regional settings, standardizing how event times are displayed across all views.
Verify Browser Behavior and Scope of Issue
Identify if the time mismatch is caused by local browser caching or if it is a broader systemic issue affecting multiple users and lists.

Do changes to my SharePoint regional settings affect other Microsoft apps?
Yes, updating your personal language and region settings in your overarching Microsoft 365 profile will generally apply across all web-based Office applications, including OneDrive and Outlook on the web.
How can I change the default time zone for a SharePoint site?
If you have Site Owner permissions, navigate to the Gear icon, select 'Site Information', click 'View all site settings', and then click 'Regional settings' to adjust the site's default time zone configuration.
