The countdown is officially over. As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ takes center stage across three host nations—the United States, Canada, and Mexico—football fever is sweeping across Singapore.

Spanning 39 action-packed days and featuring an expanded format of 104 matches, this is set to be the biggest World Cup in history.

For football fans in Asia, this edition is a massive milestone. A record-breaking nine Asian teams have qualified through the AFC (Asian Confederation) qualifiers. Powerhouses like Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar will lead the charge alongside Uzbekistan and Jordan, both making their highly anticipated historic World Cup debuts.

Because of the time zone difference between Singapore and North America, many key kickoffs will take place late at night or in the early hours of the morning.
