Timezone Conversion Notes
All original match times were listed in Central European Time (CET). To convert to Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8): subtract 9 hours from the CET time. This ensures viewers in Pacific time zones (e.g., US West Coast, western Canada) can watch matches live. For instance: a match scheduled at 8:00 PM CET becomes 11:00 AM PST. As always, check local broadcast listings or the AFCON 2025 schedule Morocco time page to confirm any daylight-saving adjustments or local delays.
