If the kick-off is 5:00 PM BST, then in Paris, it’s 6:00 PM CEST (they’re one hour ahead because they’re fancy). In Berlin, same as Paris. In Los Angeles, it’s 9:00 AM PDT, which means you can watch in your pajamas while eating cereal. In Tokyo? That’s 1:00 AM JST on Monday—absolutely insane, but commitment like that deserves a medal. Or at least a hug.
And if you’re in Reykjavík, Iceland? It’s 4:00 PM GMT. Yes, Iceland is in a different time zone from the UK, because why would geography be simple? The point is: double-check, then triple-check. Then ask a friend from another country to confirm, because you can never be too sure.

India is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of the UK. Yes, half an hour. Because why not? So the final kicks off at 9:30 PM IST—prime time for chai and drama. Canada’s Newfoundland is off by 30 minutes from the mainland too, due to some ancient fisherman’s protest. These quirks are why I have four clocks in my living room and still miss kick-offs.
