FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule in Sweden Time
Track every FIFA World Cup 2026 kickoff in Sweden time after the 5-1 start, from Netherlands on June 20 to the July 19 final.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 has already given Sweden one huge overnight result. Blagult beat Tunisia 5-1 at 4:00 a.m. CEST on Monday, June 15, Netherlands vs Sweden now lands at 7:00 p.m. CEST on Saturday, June 20, and Japan vs Sweden follows at 1:00 a.m. CEST on Friday, June 26. The final still lands cleanly at 9:00 p.m. CEST on Sunday, July 19.
Timeanddate keeps Stockholm on CEST until October 25, 2026, so one fixed summer schedule covers every Sweden kickoff. FIFA's match centre sets Netherlands vs Sweden for Houston at 17:00 local time on June 20, which converts to 7:00 p.m. in Sweden, and the Dutch arrive after a 2-2 draw with Japan. Sweden's opener also came with stronger attacking signals because Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak both featured heavily in the five-goal win.
Local interest stays fixed on the Sweden national team because Group F shifted hard on the first night. FIFA's report says Sweden hit Tunisia for five, while the draw in Dallas means Blagult can take real control of the section with another result against the Netherlands. A Sweden-specific schedule page answers that search better because it combines the Swedish clock, the updated group picture, and the viewing route in one place.
Sweden uses CEST at UTC+2 through the full World Cup window. Blagult beat Tunisia 5-1 on Monday, June 15, Netherlands vs Sweden is next at 7:00 p.m. CEST on Saturday, June 20, Japan vs Sweden starts at 1:00 a.m. CEST on Friday, June 26, and the final begins at 9:00 p.m. CEST on Sunday, July 19.

Viewing Tips for Sweden Fans
Sweden viewers should plan around two very different live windows. The easiest match sits in prime time at 7:00 p.m. CEST against the Netherlands, while the tougher fixtures start at 1:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m., so alarms and replay planning matter if you want the full bracket live. The Sweden World Cup 2026 broadcasting guide is the safest same-site market check before kickoff.
The Swedish rights split is already clear enough to plan around. SVT and TV4 share the full tournament, and current Swedish schedules place Sweden vs Tunisia on SVT, Netherlands vs Sweden on TV4, and Japan vs Sweden on SVT. The SVT World Cup 2026 TV coverage and TV4 Sweden World Cup 2026 TV coverage pages help you confirm each Sweden match before kickoff.
