2026 Fifa World Cup: Kenyan fans will wake up at 4am to watch some matches

Fans in Kenya will need to adjust their schedules significantly to follow the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with some matches set to begin as early as 4 AM local time. This early start is due to the time difference between Kenya and the host nations in North America. The tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature a global schedule that presents unique viewing challenges for many supporters worldwide. Kenyans, in particular, will face the prospect of early morning wake-ups to catch live action from the group stages and beyond.

This highlights the global reach of major sporting events and the logistical challenges fans face in different time zones.
