Here’s your survival kit. First, record everything. Yes, even live football. You can watch it in the morning with no spoilers if you avoid social media. Good luck with that.
Second, embrace naps. Take a power nap from 6 PM to 9 PM. Then wake up, make coffee, and watch that 2 AM game like a champ. Third, invest in a good DVR or streaming service. The World Cup will be on multiple platforms—Fox, ITV, BBC, DAZN. Check your local listings.

Don’t Forget the Time Zone Apps
Download a world clock app. Seriously. The first week is chaos with overlapping games. The app will save your sanity. Or just follow a Twitter account that posts all kick-off times in your local time. I do that. It’s a lifesaver.
And here’s a pro tip: ignore the official schedule at first. They publish it in local time (Eastern, Pacific, etc.). Use a converter or a fan-made calendar. I almost missed a semi-final once because I didn’t account for daylight saving. Don’t be me.
