Is there only one kickoff time?
Oman does not split this friendly across several kickoffs. The zone is Asia/Muscat, UTC+4, abbreviated +04 in the time-zone data. Muscat is enough to set the alarm for the whole country on this date. A second city in Oman does not get its own hour unless it is actually in another zone, and none is in play here.
Oman uses UTC+4, the same offset as the UAE, so Muscat kicks off at 3:00am Wednesday. A Saudi 2:00am alarm is an hour early in Oman.
Which date shows on the phone?
The fixture date stays Tuesday, 6 October 2026, because that is the date at Estadio Más Monumental. In Muscat the same whistle falls on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. Those are different calendar days. Tickets, the teamsheet and the Argentina vs Benin in Buenos Aires follow Buenos Aires. Your alarm follows Muscat.
Does a TV listing change the kickoff?
No broadcaster in Oman had been verified here. A legal show can start before 3:00am. That is not the kickoff. See the Argentina vs Benin on TV. After the whistle, use the Argentina vs Benin live score. It should not invent a score early.
The kick-off time tool and the Argentina vs Benin in Buenos Aires use the same 20:00 instant. For Oman the line to keep is 3:00am on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 in Muscat (UTC+4).
