Frequently asked questions

When does the FIFA World Cup 2026 start?

The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to kick off in June 2026, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Specific match dates and venues are loaded into the app and updated as the schedule evolves.

Can I add my own custom countdowns?

Yes. Add any event with a date and an optional image. Birthdays, weddings, vacations, and other big dates all work. You can pin one event as the main countdown shown on the TV.

Does the countdown update in real time?

Yes. While the app is open, the seconds tick down live. When backgrounded, the count refreshes when you return.

Is the World Cup data official?

The schedule is built from publicly available match information. The app is independent and is not affiliated with FIFA. Always confirm broadcast times against your local listings.

Will the app keep working after the World Cup ends?

Yes. Custom events keep working forever, and we plan to roll the app forward with future tournaments and events as they are announced.
