Schedule Laravel Jobs for a Specific Timezone

Here's an example of running a named artisan command inside routes/console.php.

Schedule::command('report:generate')
    ->at('2:00')

The ->at('2:00') assumes the timezone of your Laravel application. How do we customise this if it needs to differ?

Just reach for the timezone method.

Schedule::command('report:generate')
    ->timezone('America/New_York')
    ->at('2:00')

This method accepts any valid timezone as defined by PHP. You can find a list of valid timezones for PHP here.

If you need to change all scheduled tasks to a specific timezone, you can add the schedule_timezone setting to your config/app.php config file.

'schedule_timezone' => 'America/New_York',
