FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule in Australia Western Time
Track every FIFA World Cup 2026 kickoff in Australian Western Standard Time after the June 25 matchday, from the 4:00 a.m. AWST Cote d'Ivoire window to Australia vs Paraguay.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule in Australia Western Time now moves into a Friday morning run. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 4:00 a.m. AWST on Friday, June 26. Japan vs Sweden and Tunisia vs Netherlands follow at 7:00 a.m. AWST, then Turkiye vs USA and Paraguay vs Australia close the local morning at 10:00 a.m. AWST.
Timeanddate lists Perth on AWST at UTC+8 with no daylight saving change in 2026. Perth, Fremantle, Bunbury, Geraldton, Albany, Broome, and Kalgoorlie all stay on the same Western Australia offset. That fixed standard-time setup keeps Australia West 12 hours ahead of ET during the tournament.
Australia fans need the Group D close circled because Paraguay vs Australia starts at 10:00 a.m. AWST on Friday, June 26. The Socceroos enter that match after beating Turkiye and losing to the USA, so a win or draw can push them through. A defeat may still be enough, but other results would matter.
Australian Western Standard Time uses AWST at UTC+8 through the World Cup. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 4:00 a.m. AWST on Friday, June 26. Japan vs Sweden and Tunisia vs Netherlands follow at 7:00 a.m. AWST, and Paraguay vs Australia starts at 10:00 a.m. AWST.
