The FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule in Uganda Time now moves into a June 25 late-night run. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 11:00 p.m. EAT on Thursday, June 25. Japan vs Sweden and Tunisia vs Netherlands follow at 2:00 a.m. EAT on Friday, June 26, then Turkiye vs USA and Paraguay vs Australia close the local night at 5:00 a.m. EAT.

Timeanddate lists Kampala on East Africa Time at UTC+3 all year, with no daylight saving change in 2026. Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, Mbale, Fort Portal, and Arua all stay seven hours ahead of ET in June and July. That fixed offset gives Uganda viewers one useful late-night start before the Friday early-morning matches.

Uganda did not qualify for the 2026 finals after missing the automatic CAF Group G place, while Algeria booked the group ticket. The June 25 slate still carries regional interest because Cote d'Ivoire starts at 11:00 p.m. EAT and Tunisia follows at 2:00 a.m. EAT. Those two fixtures make the current Uganda schedule more useful than a broad fixture list.

Uganda uses East Africa Time at UTC+3 throughout the World Cup. Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador vs Germany start at 11:00 p.m. EAT on Thursday, June 25. Japan vs Sweden and Tunisia vs Netherlands follow at 2:00 a.m. EAT, and the final starts at 10:00 p.m. EAT on Sunday, July 19.

Uganda gets a demanding knockout calendar because many late host kickoffs become early morning starts. The earliest knockout ties land at 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. EAT. The toughest games move to 4:00 a.m., 5:00 a.m., 5:30 a.m., and 7:00 a.m. EAT. The final is easier because it starts at 10:00 p.m. EAT on July 19.

Viewing Tips for Uganda Fans

The easiest live Uganda watch window starts at 11:00 p.m. EAT on June 25. That start fits late routines in Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Mbarara, and Gulu. Matches after 2:00 a.m. need alarms or next-day highlights. The FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule remains the cleanest ET reference once knockout pairings become official.

FIFA lists Uganda in New World TV's 43-territory free-to-air sublicensing package for 34 matches. Uganda viewers should still check final local listings before kickoff because TV, pay-TV, and streaming routes can vary by provider. The FIFA World Cup 2026 broadcast guide is the safest final check when simultaneous fixtures crowd the grid.
