Planning guide
Viewing Tips for India
The 2026 World Cup is hosted across North America — which means many kickoffs land after midnight or before dawn in IST. Plan around these realities before knockout week disrupts your routine.US evening kickoffs = after midnight IST
A 21:00 ET match often kicks off around 06:30 IST the next morning. A 15:00 ET afternoon slot is still 00:30 IST — past midnight in Mumbai and Delhi. Check the Late night pill before you commit.
Some group games land in early-morning IST
Early ET and Central slots can fall between 05:00 and 08:00 IST — awkward on a workday, but workable on a weekend if you plan ahead.
Search any team in the full schedule
Use the team filter to pull up only the fixtures you care about — every kickoff shows in IST with Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or Late night labels.
Set phone reminders, not just TV alerts
Download the ICS calendar — your phone converts kickoffs to IST automatically and pings you before an early-morning or late-night slot you might otherwise miss.
Catch-up viewing is a valid plan
If a semi-final lands at 04:00 IST on a weekday, a spoiler-free replay over breakfast may be the practical choice. Scan the schedule now to see which matches fit live viewing.
One timezone, no daylight saving
India uses a single clock year-round (IST, UTC+5:30). Once you know the US Eastern offset, every conversion on this page stays consistent through the tournament.

How IST conversion works
India uses a single timezone (IST, UTC+5:30) with no daylight saving. US Eastern Daylight Time is 9 hours 30 minutes behind IST — so a June 11 evening kickoff in New York often becomes a June 12 after-midnight slot in India.
