Here's what time the FIFA World Cup will be on in Canada this year

 

 

Get ready to set those alarm clocks, Canada.

The FIFA World Cup is nearly here, with 32 teams descending on this year’s host country, Russia, for the chance to hoist the most prestigious trophy on the planet.

 

It all begins on June 14 in Moscow, when Russia takes on Saudi Arabia for the first match of the tournament. That’s the beginning of 64 matches, with the final set for July 15.

There’s 11 time zones in Russia – more than any other country in the world, but matches will be contained on the western side of the country, spread across three time zones.

The earliest match is scheduled for 3 am PT in Vancouver (that’s 4 am MT in Calgary and 6 am ET in Toronto and Montreal), with the latest match set for noon PT (1 pm MT / 3 pm ET).

Noticeably absent from the below schedule are Italy and USA, who both failed to qualify for this year’s tournament. Canada, who hasn’t qualified since 1986, will also not participate in this year’s World Cup.

Every match will be broadcast on TSN and/or CTV in Canada.
