The FIFA World Cup 2026 Panama schedule now turns to Tuesday, June 23, when Panama vs Croatia starts at 6:00 p.m. EST in Toronto. Timeanddate lists Panama City on Eastern Standard Time at UTC-5 with no daylight saving change in 2026. That fixed offset puts Panama one hour behind New York during the tournament, so a 7:00 p.m. ET kickoff converts to 6:00 p.m. EST.

The Panama national team need the Croatia match to keep Group L alive before the June 27 England game. Panama vs England starts at 4:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, June 27, while Croatia vs Ghana starts at the same Panama time in Philadelphia. The final stays in a clean Sunday afternoon window at 2:00 p.m. EST on July 19.

Group L carries sharper stakes now because Panama opened with a narrow loss and Croatia also needs points after facing England. The World Cup 2026 standings help track that table before kickoff. A Panama win keeps the final matchday relevant, while a defeat can leave the qualification picture dependent on England vs Ghana.

Panama uses EST at UTC-5 through the full World Cup window and does not change clocks in June or July. Panama vs Croatia starts at 6:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 23 in Toronto. Panama vs England starts at 4:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, June 27, and the final begins at 2:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, July 19.

Panama gets one of the friendliest knockout calendars in the region because most East Coast ties land in the afternoon or evening. The deepest late slots usually reach 10:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m., 11:30 p.m., and 1:00 a.m. EST, while the final stays in a clean 2:00 p.m. Sunday window.

Viewing Tips for Panama Fans

The easiest live watch band in Panama usually runs from early afternoon through 9:00 p.m. EST, because many host-city kickoffs still fit one afternoon-to-night block. Panama vs Croatia now lands in a strong 6:00 p.m. local slot, so fans can follow it after work without a late-night finish. The FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule stays the fastest ET cross-check when multiple Group L fixtures overlap.

The local coverage picture needs one last check before each kickoff, because television and streaming windows can vary by match. The Panama World Cup 2026 broadcasting coverage remains the home-market check before the Croatia and England fixtures.
