Best World Cup 2026 Match Times for Europe/London

With London on BST (UTC+1), every match that starts at 16:00–21:00 UTC lands squarely in the prime time window (17:00–22:00 local). That's the bulk of North American prime-time kick-offs — more than 50 matches in total.

The late-night problem is real: games at 22:00 UTC hit London at 23:00, and anything from 23:00 UTC onwards runs into the small hours. West Coast US venues like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles host some later kick-offs, so expect a long watch for those fixtures.

England, Scotland, and Wales all qualified, meaning British fans have plenty of reason to stay up. Below is the complete schedule sorted by how watchable each match is from London.
