Is there more than one Salvadoran kickoff?
No. San Salvador, Santa Ana, San Miguel and La Unión share UTC−6, and the country does not observe daylight saving. One alarm covers the household and anyone driving in from the other side of the city.
Across the borders the picture changes by country, not by a Salvadoran city. Guatemala City is 5:00pm. Tegucigalpa is 5:00pm. Managua is 5:00pm. Miami is 7:00pm. If a cousin in Houston asks, Houston is on US Central daylight time, which is 6:00pm, an hour later than you. Do not share one alarm with Houston.
Which date shows on the phone?
Tuesday, 6 October 2026 is the date in San Salvador and the date in Buenos Aires. You are not crossing midnight. Set the alarm for Tuesday evening and leave Wednesday out of it.
When you save it, save 5:00pm on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 under the name El Salvador. Do not save a neighbour’s hour into a San Salvador phone. UTC−6 is the offset that produces this result from 23:00 UTC. The stadium does not move to match a wrong alarm. The later friendlies are a different fixture.
Count it from the stadium if the table is not in front of you. 8:00pm in Buenos Aires is 23:00 UTC. Apply UTC−6 and you are back to 5:00pm in San Salvador. Do not add the Argentine hour on top of the local hour. That double count is how a single friendly turns into two alarms. El Salvador gets one whistle, on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, and the teamsheet in Núñez uses the Buenos Aires date even when your phone is the only clock you can see.
Share the hour with the city attached. San Salvador on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 is 5:00pm. A reply that comes back with a different number is either a different zone or the other friendlies. Do not average the two. El Salvador has one kickoff, and it is the one in the table.
Check the sum once more before you leave the page. Start at 23:00 UTC, apply UTC−6, and land on 5:00pm in San Salvador. If you land somewhere else, you started from 9:00pm in Buenos Aires. That is the other friendlies. Benin is 8:00pm at the Más Monumental. El Salvador does not get a private whistle.
Does a TV listing change the kickoff?
No broadcaster in El Salvador has been named. A studio clock running before 5:00pm is not the kickoff. A Honduran channel at the same hour is still a Honduran channel. The live stream note is on how to watch in El Salvador. After the whistle, the Argentina vs Benin live score should stay empty until the referee starts the match.
