The 2026 World Cup is the first 48-team tournament in history. Twelve groups of four feed into a new Round of 32, then the bracket plays out across the United States, Canada and Mexico for five weeks.
Matches span Atlantic and Pacific time zones — some fixtures kick off seven hours apart on the same calendar day.
The closing showpiece kicks off at 15:00 Eastern on Sunday, July 19, 2026 — that's 20:00 in London and 05:00 Monday in Sydney.
Every kickoff on this site is generated from FIFA's official UTC time. You never need to do math.

Group-stage afternoons run in three blocks: 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00 Eastern. Pick one block per day rather than chasing every match.
If you are watching from Sydney or Tokyo, the late games land between 04:00 and 09:00 local. Sleep early, set two alarms, hydrate first thing.
Group winners are confirmed June 27. The Round of 32 starts June 28. Block out those evenings before the bracket gets announced.
If you cannot watch live, log out of social media for the duration of the match. The official FIFA app pushes the final score within seconds of the whistle.
