Live Broadcast Schedule: What Time Utc+8 Matches Kick off Worldwide

Take a closer look at Live Broadcast Schedule: What Time Utc+8 Matches Kick off Worldwide in our detailed breakdown.

Q1: Is UTC+8 the exact same time as China Standard Time and Singapore Time?

A1: Yes. China Standard Time (CST), Singapore Standard Time (SST), Philippine Standard Time (PST), and Western Australia Standard Time (AWST) all operate at UTC+8:00 without observing daylight saving time. Their clocks match down to the second year-round.

Q2: How do I convert a US Pacific Time (PT) match kickoff to UTC+8?

A2: During daylight saving months (PDT), Pacific Time is 15 hours behind UTC+8. Add 15 hours to the Pacific kickoff time, or take the Pacific hour, subtract 9 hours, and advance the calendar day forward by one full day (e.g., 6:00 pm PDT on Friday equals 9:00 am UTC+8 on Saturday).

Q3: Why do European kickoff times shift differently against UTC+8 compared to US times?

A3: The United States and Western Europe initiate Daylight Saving Time on different calendar dates in March and October. During the tournament in June and July, London (BST, UTC+1) sits exactly 7 hours behind UTC+8, while Central Europe (CEST, UTC+2) sits 6 hours behind.
