Argentina vs Benin kickoff time in Jamaica
Argentina vs Benin kickoff time in Jamaica is 6:00pm on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, UTC−5. The Más Monumental starts at 20:00, which is 23:00 UTC. Kingston does not use daylight saving. Nassau is 7:00pm. A 21:00 start in Argentina would be 7:00pm in Jamaica, and that is the other friendlies.
What time is kickoff in Jamaica?
Subtract five hours from 23:00 UTC. The result is 18:00, 6:00pm, Tuesday. Subtract four, which is what Nassau and Miami need this week, and you get 7:00pm. That subtraction is the wrong country.

Does the west of the island differ?
No. Montego Bay, Negril and Kingston are the same zone. Jamaica does not move the clocks in March or November.
Haiti is 7:00pm this week. The Bahamas are 7:00pm. Panama is 6:00pm with you. The Dominican Republic is 7:00pm all year. Pick the city before you pick the hour.
Which date shows on the phone?
Kingston and Buenos Aires are both on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. You are two hours earlier, still in the evening, not on Wednesday morning.
Kingston does not need a second conversion after the table. 6:00pm is the kickoff, UTC−5 is the reason, and 8:00pm in Buenos Aires is the same whistle. If the phone offers a later suggestion, it has probably used the 9:00pm Argentina start. That suggestion is not Jamaica.
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−5 and you are back to 6:00pm in Kingston. Do not add the Argentine hour on top of the local hour. That double count is how a single friendly turns into two alarms. Jamaica 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. Kingston on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 is 6:00pm. A reply that comes back with a different number is either a different zone or the other friendlies. Do not average the two. Jamaica 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−5, and land on 6:00pm in Kingston. 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. Jamaica does not get a private whistle.
Does a TV listing change the kickoff?
No Jamaican channel has been named. A studio show before 6:00pm is not kick-off. A 7:00pm Bahamas plan is not a Jamaica plan. The live stream note is on how to watch in Jamaica. 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 Jamaica the line to keep is 6:00pm on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 (UTC−5).
