Tehran (UTC+4:30 in summer) is at 11:30 PM local time on Sunday evening, one of the best kickoff windows for Iranian fans in 2026. The large Iranian community in Los Angeles watches at noon local time, adding another well-served audience. Dubai at 11:00 PM GST is late. Mumbai crosses midnight at 12:30 AM IST.
Historical context
Belgium and Iran have never met at a World Cup. At France 1998, they were in separate groups (Belgium in Group E, Iran in Group F). This 2026 fixture is their first World Cup encounter. Brussels gets a Sunday evening at 9:00 PM CEST and Tehran gets a comfortable 11:30 PM slot, which is about as good as North American hosting can offer Iranian fans.
