How it works

Common use cases

FAQ

How often is the data refreshed?

Whenever FIFA releases fixture updates we update the backing data file, so you always see the latest kickoff times.

What happens if my team’s group changes?

The tool pulls from the same dataset as soon as we publish it; reload the page to grab the new opponents and times.

Does it show potential knockout matches?

Yes. The Knockout section lists the bracket slots your team would enter if it finishes first or second, along with local kickoff times.

Can I export this to a calendar?

For now there’s no direct export, but you can copy/paste the list or share the URL so teammates bookmark it.

How accurate are the timezone conversions?

They rely on the device timezone you selected via the IANA database, so offsets stay correct even when daylight saving kicks in.

Does it work offline?

You need an internet connection to load the latest data, but once the page is open it keeps rendering even if you temporarily drop offline.
