How to read this
Match windows are estimated at 110 minutes and checked against US Equity, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong / Shanghai sessions.
High attention: overlaps a core trading session for at least one related country.
Pre market / after market: extended-hours overlap without a core session.
Low liquidity: weekend or no meaningful related-session overlap.
Context
This page is for users who want to know when a World Cup match may matter most for attention-sensitive products, not just when kickoff begins. It connects the fixture list to likely overlap with selected financial sessions.
Interpretation
Use the calendar as a timing lens beside the pricing table, not as a replacement for price or liquidity data.
FAQ

No. The calendar shows estimated match windows and their overlap with selected trading sessions. It is an attention and timing tool, not a market-hours feed.
