If you are dealing with actual time pattern matching is not the way to do it. Why mention UTC?

This is easy, but you should better do something very different. Use one of the System.DateTime.TryParseExact methods: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.tryparseexact%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Specify the styles and exact format you need:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1(v=vs.110).aspx[^].

After the parse is attempted, you will see by the function return if the input string matches the pattern or not.
