Kick-off times for the 2026 World Cup matches ⏰ | OneFootball

FIFA has announced the schedules for the matches during the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico 2026, where the Argentine team will be in pursuit of their fourth star.

The first match of each day will be played at 13, while the activity will continue with another at 16, one at 19, and the last one at 22 (Argentina time).

This marks a significant difference from the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where Argentinians had to wake up early for the first match of each day, as they were scheduled for 7 in the morning and the others were at 10, 13, and 16.

That 7 o'clock in the morning schedule brings back very bad memories for Argentinians, as the only time the national team played at that time was in their debut against Saudi Arabia, in which they fell 2-1 in what was one of the biggest surprises in World Cup history.

The 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will start in just 9 months, on June 11, while the final will be on July 19.

As could be seen in the schedule grid, the grand finale of this World Cup, which will take place at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, will start at 16, the same time as the inaugural match.

The United States, Canada, and Mexico 2026 World Cup will debut a new format, as it will be the first edition with 48 teams. These will be divided into 12 groups of four, where the top two from each zone and the eight best third-placed teams will advance to the round of 16. A total of 104 matches will be played in total.
