Best World Cup 2026 Match Times for America/Los_Angeles

Los Angeles is on PDT (UTC−7) throughout the tournament. Because the US broadcast schedule is designed around both East and West Coast audiences, the overnight UTC slots that ruin viewing for Europe actually land in perfect PDT evening time. Matches at 00:00–03:00 UTC become 17:00–20:00 PDT — pure prime time. Around 36 games fall here.

The afternoon window (13:00–16:00 PDT, i.e. 20:00–23:00 UTC) catches about 35 more matches — the East Coast late-evening slots. And roughly 33 additional games land as morning viewing (08:00–12:00 PDT), typically European afternoon kick-offs. Zero matches fall in the late-night or early-morning bucket.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area are the local host venues.
