Kickoff times around the world

Who gets a comfortable window?

A noon CDT Monday kickoff in Dallas gives the Americas a comfortable daytime slot. New York at 1:00 PM EDT and Sao Paulo at 2:00 PM BRT are both afternoon viewing. Buenos Aires (UTC-3 in June) catches kickoff at 2:00 PM local time, a solid Monday afternoon for Argentine supporters. Vienna (CEST) lands at 7:00 PM, a prime Monday evening slot for Austrian football fans. London at 6:00 PM BST is equally accessible. Dubai at 9:00 PM GST is a good Gulf evening. Mumbai at 10:30 PM IST is late but manageable. Tokyo at 2:00 AM JST and Sydney at 3:00 AM AEST require commitment.

Historical context

Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where their group matches kicked off at 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM local Doha time, spanning early morning to afternoon Buenos Aires time. The 2:00 PM Buenos Aires window for this Dallas match is comfortable by those standards. Austria, returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, gets a 7:00 PM Vienna kickoff that mirrors the European evening slot their generation of fans grew up watching.
