The FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule in South Korea Time now moves into a Tuesday knockout run. Brazil vs Japan starts at 2:00 a.m. KST on June 30, Germany vs Paraguay follows at 5:30 a.m. KST, and Netherlands vs Morocco starts at 10:00 a.m. KST. Fans in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and Gwangju need one KST schedule because the Round of 32 runs from deep overnight into the workday. The Brazil vs Japan slot gives South Korea viewers the strongest Asian-football hook in the next match window.

Timeanddate lists Seoul on Korea Standard Time at UTC+9 with no daylight saving change in 2026. That keeps every June and July conversion 13 hours ahead of ET. The South Korea national team has completed its group-stage schedule, so local attention now shifts to the confirmed knockout bracket. A 10:00 a.m. KST Netherlands vs Morocco start is the most convenient live match in the next South Korea morning slate.

South Korea uses Korea Standard Time at UTC+9 throughout the tournament. Brazil vs Japan starts at 2:00 a.m. KST on Tuesday, June 30. Germany vs Paraguay follows at 5:30 a.m. KST, and Netherlands vs Morocco closes that South Korea morning at 10:00 a.m. KST.
