🏆 WORLD CUP 2026 · GROUP STAGE SCHEDULE

All 72 group games, one page, Eastern Time

Sixteen host cities across three countries and four kickoff time zones make this World Cup a scheduling puzzle. Here is the entire group stage re-sorted into US Eastern Time, with the host city and country listed for every match alongside the stadium-local kickoff.

2026. 6. 11.8 minUS Eastern Time (ET)

A home World Cup should be easy to watch, but this one stretches across four kickoff time zones, from Vancouver to Mexico City. A 7 p.m. start in Seattle is a 10 p.m. finish in New York, and Monterrey's late games land even later.

This page does the math once so you never have to. All 72 group-stage matches are re-sorted into US Eastern Time, each with its host city and country and the stadium-local kickoff for reference. Set your watch parties accordingly.

⏰ How to read the times

Every date and time below is US Eastern Time (ET). West Coast and Mexico games can spill past midnight ET, which is why a few matches appear one calendar day later than their venue date. The small grey text on each row is the stadium-local date and kickoff.

📅 Day-by-day schedule

Within each day, matches run in kickoff order. Both final-round games in each group kick off simultaneously, a FIFA rule to prevent result manipulation.
