With matches being hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, FIFA World Cup 2026 is anticipated to be one of the largest sporting events ever.
But the football buffs in Pakistan will have to watch the matches late at night because there is quite a time difference between the countries hosting the game and Pakistan.
The Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is about 9 to 12 hours ahead of the World Cup host cities.
Due to this, many of those games that are supposed to be aired in the evening will be aired after midnight or early morning in Pakistan.
The majority of group stage games should begin between 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. (PKT).
The tournament will have a number of highly awaited matchups.
