World Cup 2026 matches hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States will air late at night and early morning in Kenya due to the 7-10 hour time difference between East Africa Time (UTC+3) and North American time zones. Evening kick-offs scheduled for local stadium audiences will convert to overnight viewing hours in Nairobi and across Kenya, requiring fans to check the converted schedule to identify fixtures falling between midnight and dawn EAT.
