Best World Cup 2026 Match Times for America/Bogota

Colombia is at COT (UTC−5) year-round with no daylight saving — the same offset as US Central Time during the tournament. With Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru all in this zone, and Colombia qualified for the 2026 World Cup, this is a highly engaged football region with an excellent viewing schedule.

At UTC−5, US prime-time kick-offs starting at 23:00–01:00 UTC land in Bogotá at 18:00–20:00 COT — perfect prime-time evening football. Around 50 matches fall in this bracket. The afternoon East Coast US slots (19:00–21:00 UTC) arrive at 14:00–16:00 COT, adding roughly 38 more afternoon matches.

About 13 games fall in the morning window (08:00–12:00 COT) — the early UTC kick-offs corresponding to very late West Coast nights. Only 3 matches fall genuinely awkward (after 23:00 COT), so the vast majority of the tournament is watchable at civilised hours.

Colombia play in Group H and their fixtures will be the highest-priority games for Colombian fans. Venezuela sits in the same UTC−4 bracket (one hour ahead), making this guide useful across the entire northern Andes region.
