Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for synchronizing timeslots in a wireless LAN system. The timeslot synchronization method includes: setting, by a first node, a timeslot synchronization reference based on a time synchronization function (TSF) value, followed by transmitting information about a reference of synchronization to a second node; and setting, by the second node, a timeslot synchronization reference based on a TSF value corresponding to the reference of synchronization based on the information transmitted from the first node.
