Schedule
World Cup 2026 schedule guide
Use this hub to plan around match days, local kickoff times, daily schedule updates, and source checks before the tournament starts.
Quick Answer
World Cup 2026 runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026. This schedule hub will route fans to daily schedules, local-time pages, match pages, and team fixtures as official information is verified.
Official Schedule Source Rule
Treat FIFA schedule pages as the source of record for match dates, venues, and kickoff times. Broadcaster pages are useful for where to watch, but they should not replace the official tournament schedule when a date, stadium, or knockout-stage path is being checked.
Before making a travel, hotel, or viewing decision, verify three layers: the official match schedule, the local kickoff time in your viewing location, and the legal viewing guide for your country or region. If one layer changes, update the others before publishing or booking.
For editorial planning, every schedule update should also trigger an internal-link review. A match date can affect the relevant host city page, the nearest where-to-stay guide, the country viewing guide, and the daily schedule page that will receive high-intent searches during the tournament.

Matchday Update Workflow
| Timing | Schedule Task | Publishing Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Before tournament | Keep tournament dates, host cities, and official schedule links current. | Use source-gated language until match-specific details are final. |
| When match allocations update | Check venue, date, local kickoff time, and likely viewing page links. | Update schedule pages before city or viewing pages that depend on them. |
| During tournament | Refresh today's matches, tomorrow's matches, and completed-match routing. | Do not publish unofficial changes unless an official source confirms them. |
Schedule Pages To Build
The first version of the schedule system should stay broad and reliable: tournament dates, daily schedule intent, local-time conversion, and links to official sources. After match allocations are fully confirmed, the same structure can expand into match-level pages without changing the user path.
| Page | Purpose | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Local time guide | Help fans convert kickoff times into their own timezone. | Connect to reminders and match pages. |
| Hong Kong time schedule | Answer HKT schedule searches without changing the broader schedule hub. | Link to Hong Kong viewing and high-demand team pages. |
| Today schedule | Capture daily tournament searches during the event. | Refresh every matchday. |
