The 226 area code was created in 2006 as a split from the original 519 that once covered all of Southwestern Ontario. Today, 226 is exclusively tied to the region, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
London – a vibrant city known for its cultural attractions
Kitchener – home to diverse communities and events
Windsor – renowned for its connection to Detroit and the automotive industry
For generations, 226 has represented Ontario pride, offering the best of urban life with fast access to all local amenities.
The 226 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Southwestern Ontario. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 226 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 226 area code covers all of Southwestern Ontario, including:
London
Kitchener
Windsor
and many more.
Getting a 226 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Southwestern Ontario's busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
