One detail stands out for fans planning their days: the schedule is packed not just with classic evening kick-offs, but also with early-morning UK starts—meaning group-stage drama can spill straight through to workweeks.
For the British contingent, the group draw is already mapped out. England will be drawn against Croatia, Ghana and Panama in the World Cup group stages.
Scotland’s run also has its own storyline: Scotland will feature in their first World Cup since 1998 after dramatically qualifying last month.
And for anyone finding an excuse to circle particular venues, AT&T Stadium has a familiar pull: Lionel Messi is no stranger to the AT&T Stadium having won the MLS Cup there with Inter Miami.
With kick-off times locked in across Canada, Mexico and the United States, the only remaining variable is performance. The calendar is set. The world just needs to catch up.

MetLife final next week?? I thought it was months away.
These kick-off times for the UK are confusing as hell. Like why not just do local time for everyone in the USA?? I’m gonna miss half the games and blame this article.
Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan, Uzbekistan… wait Curacao is in FIFA but I swear I heard they weren’t? Maybe I’m mixing it up with the qualifiers. Also the article says “nearly here” and then June 11 like that’s next week?? Idk man, time zones are gonna ruin this for me.
48 teams is wild, so that means more matches, more ads, more stuff to watch while I’m working. I saw “Mexico vs South Africa” and was like oh cool then I scrolled and it’s all UK times anyway. Can’t they put a simple calendar? Also MetLife being 5 miles west of NYC… sounds made up but whatever.
