Frequently asked
What time is World Series Game 1 in Johannesburg?
Game 1 is Sat, Oct 24 at 2:00 AM GMT+2.
Why not show an estimated time?
A plausible estimate can shift the local calendar date and create incorrect alarms. We publish exact conversions only from a confirmed UTC timestamp.
How are daylight-saving changes handled?
Each timestamp is converted with the IANA time-zone database, which applies the rule in effect for that city on that date.
