FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule in Austria Time
Track every FIFA World Cup 2026 kickoff in Austria time, including Austria's first finals run since 1998 and the July 19 final.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 sends Austria back to the finals with one awkward dawn start, one ideal evening slot, and one harsh overnight closer. Austria vs Jordan kicks off at 6:00 a.m. CEST on Wednesday, June 17 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Argentina vs Austria follows at 7:00 p.m. CEST on Monday, June 22 in Dallas. Algeria vs Austria then closes Group J at 4:00 a.m. CEST on Sunday, June 28 in Kansas City.
Timeanddate lists Vienna on Central European Summer Time at UTC+2 through June and July 2026. The next clock change does not arrive until Sunday, October 25, 2026. FIFA's Group J listings and FOX's Austria schedule show the same opponents, dates, and host cities, so the local conversion stays stable from the June 11 opener to the July 19 final.
The Austria national team returns to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, so the group-stage rhythm matters as much as the opponents. Jordan gives Austria the first step into the tournament. Argentina brings the biggest spotlight. Algeria could still decide qualification on the final matchday.
Austria uses CEST at UTC+2 through the full World Cup window. Austria vs Jordan is the next Austria match at 6:00 a.m. CEST on Wednesday, June 17. Argentina vs Austria follows at 7:00 p.m. CEST on Monday, June 22, Algeria vs Austria starts at 4:00 a.m. CEST on Sunday, June 28, and the final begins at 9:00 p.m. CEST on Sunday, July 19.

Austria gets a mixed knockout calendar. The earliest knockout ties land at 7:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. CEST. The late ties drift to 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 3:30 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. CEST. The final stays in a strong Sunday prime-time slot because it starts at 9:00 p.m. CEST on July 19.
Viewing Tips for Austria Fans
The easiest Austria watch window usually runs from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. CEST. Many United States afternoon kickoffs fit there. Two of Austria's own group matches do not. The Austria World Cup 2026 broadcasting coverage remains the safest local rights check before each kickoff.
Austria also gets a clean free-to-air split. The ORF World Cup 2026 coverage page matters for the opening match, the final, Austria vs Jordan, and Algeria vs Austria. ServusTV carries the middle group game against Argentina. That split matters because supporters should not assume one channel covers the full Austria schedule.
