That depends entirely upon where you are. Maximum eclipse is today at 18:51 Greenwich Standard Time...convert for your time zone. That puts it at about 2:00 in the morning for the west coast of the USA and about 11:00 pm for the east coast.
Note it is only a very small bite of the moon that will be partially eclipsed. It's not a total eclipse...not much of a show, really.

Tonight's wide Moon is going to glide through Earth's shadow, producing a 90-minute partial lunar eclipse visible from eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Only 19% of the Moon will be in deep shadow, but that's enough for a pretty display. Maximum eclipse takes place at 1851 UT on Sept. 7th

It depends on where you are located. The earth turns counterclockwise so the further east you are the earlier it would be. The other thing to consider would be how far north or south of the equator. It will not be a total eclipse in any location, nor visible at all in the Americas.

As on the previous question- it really depends where on the earth you are?
www.space.com has some info
It will not be a full eclipse everywhere- and some parts of the globe will not see it.
It is caused by the earths shadow over the moon.
