What time do 2022 World Cup games start in the USA?

For the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the group-stage matches will start in the United States at 5:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For the final round of group-stage fixtures there is also a 10:00 a.m. Eastern time slot. As Qatar is eight hours ahead of the USA east coast, and 11 hours ahead of the west coast, these were the time slots that worked the best.

The first two games of the tournament featured one and three games respectively, and then every matchday will feature four games all the way through the conclusion of the group stage on December 2. In the knockouts, only slot 4 and 5 are in play.
