No all-nighters this time: Korea gets a brunch-time World Cup
Often, the World Cup meant fighting sleep to watch Team Korea play, staying up late into the night, sometimes into the wee hours.
But at the upcoming 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, South Korea’s Group A matches will all kick off in the morning — not at dawn, but just in time for brunch.
The schedule begins Friday at 11 a.m., when South Korea will open its World Cup campaign against the Czech Republic at Estadio Guadalajara in Zapopan, in Mexico's Jalisco state.
