I've installed the OS and the time is incorrect.
The timedatectl shows:
System clock synchronized: no
systemd-timesyncd.service active: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
How to force it to sync now?

From man timedatectl all you need is to enable NTP-sync.
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
then it do the rest automatically.
If it does not work check status of systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
and restart it
sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service
And then check again:
$ timedatectl
...
System clock synchronized: yes
systemd-timesyncd.service active: yes
RTC in local TZ: no

2The status of
systemd-timesyncd.servicewas useful - helped to see the problem with the server connectivity.– VelkanJul 24, 2018 at 9:22 -

@lewis4u: it works for me in Ubuntu18.04, the
systemctlpart. Does your firewall allow you to access the NTP servers? Jul 2, 2019 at 14:18 -

systemd-timesynd.service,timedatectlstill reportsSystem clock synchronized: no. Does anyone know why this would be?– snarkSep 26, 2019 at 13:28 -
2@PresidentJamesMoveonPolk: At least on Ubuntu 20.04,
ntpconflicts withsystemd-timesyncdand wants to remove it. It must be something else. In my case, the error was a typo in the NTP configuration.– emk2203Apr 23, 2020 at 12:37
It worked for me, when I edited /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf, because lines below were commented.
I uncommented them and changed NTP and FallbackNTP lines by my Network servers:
[Time]
NTP=172.24.3.1
FallbackNTP=172.24.44.51
RootDistanceMaxSec=5
PollIntervalMinSec=32
PollIntervalMaxSec=2048
After that, I restarted systemd-timesyncd.service, so System clock synchronized status turned to yes
