Which Guatemalan cities differ?
None of them. Guatemala keeps a single zone and does not move the clocks in October. Guatemala City, Quetzaltenango, Escuintla and Puerto Barrios are 5:00pm together.
The split is across the border. Mexico City matches you at 5:00pm. Cancún is 6:00pm. Belize City is 5:00pm. San Salvador is 5:00pm. Miami is 7:00pm, because the US East Coast is on daylight time until November. A winter chart that puts New York at 6:00pm is the wrong month.
Which date shows on the phone?
Both the stadium and Guatemala City are on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, for this whistle. You do not need a Wednesday alarm. The ticket in Núñez and the clock in the capital are the same calendar day, three hours apart from 8:00pm to 5:00pm.
Label the alarm Guatemala, and type 5:00pm. Guatemala City is the city the title is talking about. The offset in the table is UTC−6. Buenos Aires is still 8:00pm, the same instant as 23:00 UTC. A number one hour later belongs to the other friendlies, which start at 9:00pm in Argentina, not to Benin.
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 Guatemala City. Do not add the Argentine hour on top of the local hour. That double count is how a single friendly turns into two alarms. Guatemala 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. Guatemala City 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. Guatemala 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 Guatemala City. 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. Guatemala does not get a private whistle.
Does a TV listing change the kickoff?
No Guatemalan broadcaster has been verified for this friendly. A preview show can start before 5:00pm. The whistle is still 5:00pm. Canal 11 in Honduras is not a Guatemala listing, even at the same minute. The live stream note is on how to watch in Guatemala. After the whistle, the Argentina vs Benin live score should stay empty until the referee starts the match.
The kick-off time tool uses the same 20:00 instant. For Guatemala the line to keep is 5:00pm on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 (UTC−6).
