So, as you plan your sleeping rota for June and July 2026, remember this: you are not alone. There will be millions of Brits just like you, bleary-eyed at 1 AM, shouting at their TVs while wearing dressing gowns. It’s a weird, wonderful tradition. And when England finally lift that trophy (yes, I said when), you’ll be able to say you stayed up for every glorious, exhausting second.
In the end, it’s not about the perfect kick-off time. It’s about the shared madness—the 3 AM text chains with your mates, the half-time snacks that feel like a crime, and the glorious sunrise after a penalty shootout win. So set your alarms, stock the fridge, and get ready. The World Cup is coming, and your sleep schedule is temporary. The memories, the goals, and the joy? That lasts forever. Now, go practice your night-owl face. You’re going to need it.
