The World Cup 2022 schedule is now out – or as close to it as we can get before we know who will qualify.
We now know who each country will meet when they will face them, and who they might face in the knockout rounds now that the World Cup 2022 group draw is complete.
We don’t yet know the times or locations for the group stage games, except that Qatar vs Ecuador will be the first match of the day, and will begin earlier than the other matches.
The first two rounds of group games will begin at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7 p.m. GMT.
Kickoff times for the remaining group stage games and all knockout games will be 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively.
