Copa Corujão: see the games that will take place in the early hours of the morning

With 48 teams in contention, the 2026 World Cup will feature several games spread over the days.

Due to the high number of participants in this edition, with teams from all continents, FIFA had to rearrange the duels according to the schedules of each country. The objective was to try to please fans from all over the world.

As a result, some games will take place at unusual times for Brazilian fans. In the group stage, there will be 14 clashes with the ball rolling from 11pm.

Brazil "escapes" the early hours
Argentina is one of the teams that plays late at night. The Hermanos face Jordan on June 27th at 11pm (Brasília time), in a duel valid for the last round of group J.

In group D, Paraguay will have a duel against Türkiye, on June 20th, starting at 1 am. In other words, Brazilian fans who want to watch this match will need to stay awake until 3 am.

Those who only intend to watch Brazil's games will not suffer duels during the early hours of the morning. In the group stage, the Brazilian team enters the field at 7pm and 9:30pm, the usual times for fans here.
