British press reports on Saturday stated that fans in the United Kingdom received with great shock the schedule for the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup matches, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The reason is the time difference that will force fans to stay up late to follow their teams, according to "The Sun" newspaper.
The timings that upset the fans begin in the late night and early morning hours according to British Summer Time (BST), with matches scheduled to start at 1, 2, and 3 AM, and going up to 5 AM for some games.
This timing led to a spread of comments from fans on social media, indicating that they will have to spend "white nights" to follow their national teams' matches.
