What time is kickoff in Nepal?
Work the sum backwards. If it is 4:45am on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 in Kathmandu, taking off UTC+5:45 must land on 23:00 UTC, and taking off three more hours must land on 20:00 in Buenos Aires. If it does not, the conversion started from the wrong stadium hour. The Bolivia and Burkina Faso friendlies are 21:00 in Argentina. Using that hour here produces 5:45am.

Is there only one kickoff time?

Which date shows on the phone?
The fixture date stays Tuesday, 6 October 2026, because that is the date at Estadio Más Monumental. In Kathmandu the same whistle falls on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. Those are different calendar days. Tickets and the teamsheet follow Buenos Aires. Your alarm follows Kathmandu. Do not write both dates as if they were two matches.
Does a TV listing change the kickoff?
No channel in Nepal has been named for this friendly. A World Cup broadcast is a different competition, and it does not move the whistle. A studio can talk before 4:45am. That is not kick-off. The live stream note is on how to watch in Nepal. 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 Nepal the line to keep is 4:45am on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 in Kathmandu (UTC+5:45).
