Viewing from Croatia

For fans in Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik (Central European Summer Time, UTC+2), the England opener at 22:00 is the group stage gift: a European prime-time kickoff for the most anticipated fixture in Group L. The Panama match pushes past midnight, and the Ghana finale lands at 23:00. Croatia fans in Russia 2018 proved the country will simply not sleep when the national team is playing. Bars in Zagreb's Tkalciceva Street became famous for all-night crowds during that run to the final. The same culture will apply in 2026.
