Kick-off times in India
Because matches are played across North American time zones, most fixtures fall in the late-night and early-morning hours in India (IST). Group-stage games typically begin from around 10:30 PM IST through to the early hours, so plan your sleep — and your snacks — accordingly.
Where to watch
World Cup matches are available through licensed broadcasters and official streaming platforms in India. Always choose legal, official sources for the best quality and to support the game.
