If you’re watching from New York, that’s 12:00 PM EDT, which is basically brunch o’clock. In Los Angeles, you’re looking at a very civilized 9:00 AM PDT, perfect for a Bloody Mary and a load of screaming at a screen. And for my friends in Sydney? It’s a brutal 2:00 AM AEST on Monday morning—so invest in coffee, or just accept you’ll be a zombie at work. Either way, it’s worth it.
The chaos of time zones (a comedy of errors)
I once missed a Champions League final because I was three hours off on my math and ended up watching a rerun of Antiques Roadshow. Don’t be like me. The Women’s Euro final is a global event, so check a time zone converter if you’re even slightly uncertain. But honestly, just set your alarm for 4:45 PM BST and then add or subtract hours based on your planet’s rotation.
Also, fun fact: the match is at Wembley Stadium, which holds 90,000 people. That’s more than the population of Liechtenstein. If everyone coughs at once, players might get knocked over by sonic booms. So yes, it’s a big deal.
