The expanded 2026 Fifa World Cup will see 48 teams play 104 matches in 16 host cities in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.
The large geographical area - we are talking about a whole continent encompassing four time zones - means that matches will take place 12 hours apart on the same day! For fans in East Africa who are more than seven hours ahead of the US’s east coast time, it will mean watching some matches as early as 8pm or as late as the following morning at 7 o’clock.
