ET (US Eastern) wall chart
For the United States and Canada. The ET file also prints a quick US conversion note: CT is one hour behind ET, MT is two hours behind, PT is three hours behind.
BST (UK) wall chart
For the United Kingdom and Ireland. West Africa lines up with BST during the tournament.
CET (Central Europe) wall chart
For Western and Central Europe. South Africa shares this clock during the tournament.
AEST (Australia) wall chart
For Australia and New Zealand. Times show in the morning and one day later, since Australia is 14 hours ahead of US Eastern.
Every file shows the same matches, groups, and bracket. Only the kick-off times change to match the zone. Each match lists the two teams, their flags, the date, the time, and the host city. Blank score boxes sit beside every fixture so you can write in results as the tournament goes.

The wall chart fits the whole tournament on one sheet. Here is what you get.
- All 12 groups, A through L, with four teams each
- Every group fixture with date, local kick-off time, and host city
- National flags beside each team for quick reading

How to Print the World Cup 2026 Wall Chart
The wall chart is built for clean printing at home or at a print shop. Follow these steps for the best result.
- Download the PDF for your time zone.
- Open the file in any PDF reader.
- Pick your home size to print at home, or A3 for a wall poster.

Best Paper Size for a World Cup Wall Chart
The right size depends on how you plan to use it. For most readers, the home size is the easiest choice, because almost every home printer handles it with no setup. That is US Letter in the United States and Canada, and A4 most other places. The chart stays clear and readable on a desk or a fridge.
For a true wall chart that reads from across a room, A3 is the best pick. It is twice the size of a standard sheet, so the flags and times are easy to see. Many home printers do not handle A3, so you may need an office printer or a quick trip to a print shop.
For a big poster at a watch party or venue, A1 is the largest option. It needs a print shop or a large-format printer.
Here is a quick guide:
| Size | Dimensions | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| A4 or US Letter | Standard sheet | Print at home, desk or fridge, the easiest option |
| A3 | Double a standard sheet | Best wall chart, may need a print shop |
| A1 | Eight standard sheets | Large venue poster, print shop only |
In short, choose your home size to print at home with no fuss, step up to A3 for a proper wall poster, or go to A1 for a large display.
Wall Chart Time Zones Explained
The wall chart comes in four time zones so fans see kick-offs in their own clock. The matches and dates stay the same. Only the times shift.
| Zone | Region | Offset from ET |
|---|---|---|
| ET (US Eastern) | United States, Canada | Base time |
| BST (UK) | United Kingdom, Ireland | 5 hours ahead |
| CET (Central Europe) | Western Europe | 6 hours ahead |
| AEST (Australia) | Australia | 14 hours ahead |
The opening match shows the pattern. Mexico vs South Africa kicks off at 3PM ET on June 11. That is 8PM BST and 9PM CET the same day. In Australia it is 5AM AEST on June 12, because Australia sits a day ahead for US evening games.
South Africa fans can use the CET chart, since South Africa shares the same clock during the tournament. Most of West Africa lines up with BST. Readers in other zones can adjust from the nearest version.
How to Read the Knockout Bracket
The bracket uses short slot codes before the teams are known. The codes tell you which group results feed each tie.
- A number plus a letter means a group position. “1 E” means the Group E winner.
- “2 B” means the Group B runner-up.
- A “3” plus several letters means a best third-placed team. “3 ABCDF” means the best third-placed team from those listed groups.
Eight of the 12 third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32. The slot codes show the exact path each spot can take. Once the group stage ends, you can write the qualified teams into the blank bracket boxes.

FIFA World Cup 2026 Wall Chart FAQ
Is the World Cup 2026 wall chart free?
Yes. The wall chart is free to download as a PDF. There is no sign-up and no fee. You can print as many copies as you like for personal use.
What time zones does the wall chart come in?
The wall chart comes in four time zones: ET (US Eastern), BST (UK), CET (Central Europe), and AEST (Australia). Each file shows the same matches with kick-off times set for that region. Pick the one that matches where you watch.
Why do the Australia times show the next day?
The AEST chart often shows AM times and a date one day later. This is correct. Australia sits 14 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so a US evening kick-off lands the next morning in Australia. The final, for example, is July 20 at 5AM AEST.
