Which cities are on a different clock?

Spain does not kick off once. Madrid, Canary Islands are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, Madrid at 1:00am, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.

Mainland Spain is still on Central European Summer Time, so the kickoff is 1:00am Wednesday. The Canary Islands stay an hour behind, at midnight. A Madrid listing is the wrong alarm in Las Palmas.

Which date shows on the phone?

The fixture date stays Tuesday, 6 October 2026, because that is the date at Estadio Más Monumental. In Madrid 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 Madrid.

Does a TV listing change the kickoff?

No broadcaster in Spain had been verified here. A legal show can start before 1:00am. 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 Spain the line to keep is 1:00am on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 in Madrid (UTC+2).
