World Cup 2026 fixtures: Day by day

Football's biggest-ever World Cup is a serious undertaking for anyone planning to take in most of the matches.

World Cup 2026 will have 13 different kick-off times and some very busy matchdays, so knowing what's happening is a challenge in its own right. What you need is a handy guide that organises the information in a convenient format.

With matches taking place in different time zones on the other side of the world, kick-off can be on a different day entirely. So, if you're watching in England, Scotland or elsewhere in the UK, FourFourTwo has broken the World Cup fixtures list day by day...
