Tunisia

Tunisia is one of Africa’s most consistent World Cup participants, qualifying regularly despite stiff continental competition. In 2026, Group F places the Eagles of Carthage in Texas and Kansas City. Tunisia uses Africa/Tunis (UTC+1 in summer), meaning Central time matches land at late evening in Tunis.

The first Group F match is June 14 against the UEFA Path B winner in Monterrey, kicking off at 20:00 Monterrey time (America/Monterrey, UTC-5). In Tunis that is 02:00 on June 15. The toughest slot of the three.

The second match on June 20 against Japan in Monterrey kicks off at 22:00 Monterrey time. That is 04:00 on June 21 in Tunisia. Pre-dawn.

The third group game on June 25 shifts to Kansas City against Netherlands, with an 18:00 Central kickoff. In Tunis that is midnight. Still late, but the most reasonable of the three.

Tunisia’s schedule concentrates in the late-night to pre-dawn window back home, which means Tunisian fans watching live need real dedication. The Monterrey double-header creates particularly brutal local viewing conditions.

However, for Tunisian communities in France and Italy, the math is kinder. Monterrey’s 20:00 local time lands as 02:00 CET, still late. But the Kansas City match at 18:00 Central becomes midnight in Paris, which is at least within reach.

Tunisia has historically punched above its weight at World Cups, and Group F with Netherlands and Japan is winnable. Use the converter here to find Tunisia’s exact kickoff times in your timezone.
