Why there are no 10am or 1pm World Cup group game kick-offs today as TV fixtures change

The World Cup group stages will come to an end this week after 48 games ahead of the highly-anticipated knockout stages. Following six consecutive days of four games, the scheduling of the tournament changes from today.

Since Tuesday, November 22, there have been four games taking place at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. However, with the final group games upon us, that will no longer be the case. Today, Group A and Group B round off their group campaign followed by the remaining six groups.

Group A's final games will both take place at 3pm and England's group follows the double header with two games at 7pm. The timing difference comes to ensure both games take place at the same time.
