Football

This page tracks 13 football competitions across four continents, from the Premier League and Champions League in Europe to the J-League in Japan and the Copa Libertadores in South America. Every kickoff time is converted to your local timezone automatically.

The timezone challenge in football is constant. A Champions League group-stage match kicking off at 21:00 CET in Madrid or Milan starts at 15:00 in New York and 05:00 the following morning in Sydney. Premier League 15:00 GMT Saturday kickoffs land at 10:00 on the US East Coast and midnight in Tokyo. The J-League's evening kickoffs at 19:00 JST are convenient for viewers in Tokyo but translate to 06:00 in London and 01:00 in New York.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup dominates the summer calendar, with 104 matches across 16 venues in the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19. The domestic league seasons in Europe run from August through May, while South American and Asian leagues follow a calendar-year format. The Copa Libertadores knockout rounds overlap with the European season, creating a stretch from September through November where every major confederation has live football simultaneously.
