FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule in Cape Verde Time

The FIFA World Cup 2026 has already given Cape Verde a historic first finals point. The Blue Sharks held Spain to a 0-0 draw at 3:00 p.m. CVT on Monday, June 15, Uruguay vs Cabo Verde now follows at 9:00 p.m. CVT on Sunday, June 21, and Cabo Verde vs Saudi Arabia lands at 11:00 p.m. CVT on Friday, June 26. The final then starts at 6:00 p.m. CVT on Sunday, July 19.

Timeanddate shows no clock change in Praia during 2026, so Cape Verde stays on CVT at UTC-1 throughout the tournament. FIFA's match reports from June 15 show both Group H matches finished level, with Spain drawing Cabo Verde 0-0 and Saudi Arabia drawing Uruguay 1-1. That leaves every team on one point before the second round, which makes the Uruguay date more important for Cape Verde viewers than the opener now.

Local interest is huge because the Cape Verde national team has already changed the group by taking a point from Spain in its first World Cup match. Uruguay and Saudi Arabia now decide whether that debut result becomes a real qualification push. A Cape Verde-specific schedule answers the search better because it joins the local clock, the Blue Sharks' updated position, and the legal viewing route in one place.

Cape Verde uses CVT at UTC-1 throughout the World Cup, so every kickoff runs three hours ahead of ET. Cabo Verde drew 0-0 with Spain on Monday, June 15, Uruguay vs Cabo Verde is next at 9:00 p.m. CVT on Sunday, June 21, Cabo Verde vs Saudi Arabia starts at 11:00 p.m. CVT on Friday, June 26, and the final begins at 6:00 p.m. CVT on Sunday, July 19.

Cape Verde gets one of the cleaner African knockout calendars.
