World Cup 2026 kickoff times in EDT

ET (EDT, UTC-4) is the US East Coast and Canadian eastern. Many matches are played at ET venues — New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta — so kickoffs at those grounds are the times on the ticket. Other venues skew earlier in ET: afternoon for Central, early afternoon for Pacific. The tournament is hosted in the United States, Mexico and Canada, so most venues are at least five hours behind. Kickoffs at US-venue marquee slots (15:00 and 21:00 local at East Coast sites, 21:00 local at West Coast sites) land in the evening and overnight here.
