Track every FIFA World Cup 2026 kickoff in Belgium time, from the New Zealand decider to the July 19 final.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Belgium schedule now reaches the final Group G match against New Zealand. New Zealand vs Belgium starts at 5:00 a.m. CEST on Saturday, June 27 at BC Place in Vancouver. Egypt vs IR Iran starts at the same time in Seattle, so Belgium supporters can follow the whole group finish before breakfast.

Belgium stays on CEST at UTC+2 throughout the full June and July tournament window. Belgium drew 1-1 with Egypt and 0-0 with IR Iran, which leaves the Belgium national team needing a clean final-match plan. Egypt lead Group G on four points, while IR Iran and Belgium sit on two points before the simultaneous deciders.

The Group G clock now matters as much as the table. Belgium fans get a difficult 5:00 a.m. CEST kickoff, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 standings can shift during the same window because Egypt vs IR Iran runs alongside the Vancouver match. That early Saturday start makes alerts, stream checks, and replay planning more important than the first two Belgium fixtures.

Belgium uses CEST at UTC+2 through the full World Cup window. New Zealand vs Belgium starts at 5:00 a.m. CEST on Saturday, June 27 at BC Place in Vancouver. Egypt vs IR Iran starts at the same time in Seattle, and the final begins at 9:00 p.m. CEST on Sunday, July 19.
