The FIFA World Cup 2026 Mexico schedule now turns from a perfect Group A finish to the knockout round. Mexico beat Czechia 3-0 on June 24 and finished Group A with nine points. Mexico's round of 32 match starts at 7:00 p.m. CST on Tuesday, June 30 at Mexico City Stadium.

Timeanddate lists Mexico City on Central Standard Time at UTC-6 with no daylight saving change in 2026. Guadalajara and Monterrey share that offset during June and July, so Mexico's three host cities stay aligned. That fixed setup keeps Mexico two hours behind ET during the tournament.

The June 25 CST slate still matters for bracket tracking. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 2:00 p.m. CST. Japan vs Sweden and Tunisia vs Netherlands follow at 5:00 p.m. CST, then USA vs Turkiye and Paraguay vs Australia close the night at 8:00 p.m. CST.

Mexico uses CST at UTC-6 through the World Cup. Mexico's round of 32 match starts at 7:00 p.m. CST on Tuesday, June 30 at Mexico City Stadium. The opponent is yet to be confirmed. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 2:00 p.m. CST on June 25.
