Royal Oak runs on America/Detroit, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Royal Oak is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
