Page Overview
Since the "FIFA World Cup 2026" will be held in three countries—the United States, Canada, and Mexico—the time difference with Japan means many matches will be broadcast late at night, early in the morning, or during daytime hours. In response to the complexity of checking viewing schedules, "G Guide" leverages the immediacy unique to official information to quickly respond to last-minute emergency programming changes. It supports a smooth TV viewing environment by helping viewers accurately understand broadcast times.
Display by date: Broadcast information can be easily switched using date buttons. Listed chronologically (by broadcast time), users can see the day's schedule at a glance.
