Look, I’m not going to pretend I’ve got a scientific formula for surviving the 2026 World Cup kick-off times. The best advice I can give you is to embrace the chaos. Stock up on snacks, pre-warn your partner that you’ll be a zombie for a month, and maybe—just maybe—invest in a nice, large blanket. Because whether it’s a 4 AM showdown or a Sunday evening thriller, the World Cup is the one event where being tired is a badge of honour. And honestly, the banter when someone falls asleep during extra time? Priceless.
So, here’s to the 2026 World Cup: may your kick-off times be kind, your caffeine strong, and your group chat forgiving. I’ll be there, Quavers in hand, ready for the 3 AM madness. You in?
