What Time Are This Week's Champions League Games in Kenya?
Champions League Matchday 4 is played on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 November, with 2 early games at 8:45 PM Kenya time each night and the main slate of 7 games at 11:00 PM. Those late games used to start at 10:00 PM in Kenya. They moved an hour later because Europe turned its clocks back on 25 October, while Kenya stays on East Africa Time all year.
Below you'll find all 18 Matchday 4 games in EAT, the 5 English clubs and how many hours each gets between its weekend league game and its European night, plus a quick reminder of how the league phase table works.

Updated live from Gamting Scores.
The two 8:45 PM slots are the ones to plan around if you don't want a late night. On Tuesday that's Galatasaray v Stuttgart and Shakhtar v Sporting. On Wednesday it's Liverpool's trip to Fenerbahce and Real Madrid's visit to AEK Athens. Every other game ends close to 1:00 AM Kenya time.
Why do Champions League games start an hour later in Kenya now?
UEFA sets its kick-offs in Central European Time, and there are only 2 of them: 18:45 and 21:00. Until 25 October, Central Europe was on summer time (UTC+2), so 21:00 there was 10:00 PM in Nairobi. Since the clocks went back it's on UTC+1, and the same 21:00 kick-off is now 11:00 PM in Kenya. Kenya doesn't change its clocks, so the whole gap comes from Europe. Nothing changed here. Europe moved.
- 18:45 CET = 8:45 PM EAT (was 7:45 PM in September and October)
- 21:00 CET = 11:00 PM EAT (was 10:00 PM)
If you read a UK time in English media, the sum is now just as simple: add 3 hours. A 3:00 PM Saturday game in England is 6:00 PM in Nairobi, and an 8:00 PM UK kick-off is 11:00 PM here. We'd keep that rule in your head rather than trusting a screenshot from September, which will be an hour out. This lasts until Sunday 28 March 2027, when Europe moves its clocks forward again. Matchday 5 on 24 and 25 November follows the same 8:45 PM and 11:00 PM pattern.
Which English clubs play, and how much rest do they get?
Five Premier League clubs are in the league phase this season: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. All 5 play a league game this weekend first. We worked out the gap from that kick-off to their Champions League kick-off, in EAT, so you can see who's had the shortest week.
| Club | Premier League game (EAT) | Champions League game (EAT) | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aston Villa | v Fulham, Sat 31 Oct 11:00 PM | at Barcelona, Tue 3 Nov 11:00 PM | 72 hours |
| Liverpool | v Arsenal, Sun 1 Nov 7:30 PM | at Fenerbahce, Wed 4 Nov 8:45 PM | 73 hours 15 min |
| Arsenal | at Liverpool, Sun 1 Nov 7:30 PM | at Slavia Prague, Wed 4 Nov 11:00 PM | 75 hours 30 min |
| Manchester United | at Chelsea, Sat 31 Oct 3:30 PM | v AS Roma, Tue 3 Nov 11:00 PM | 79 hours 30 min |
| Manchester City | v Brighton, Sat 31 Oct 6:00 PM | at RB Leipzig, Wed 4 Nov 11:00 PM | 101 hours |
Villa have the tightest turnaround. Exactly 3 days, from Villa Park to Barcelona. Liverpool and Arsenal meet at Anfield on Sunday evening and then both travel, one to Istanbul and one to Prague. City? More than 4 days. These are schedule facts, not a forecast; rest is only one part of any match.
How does the Champions League league phase work?
No groups any more. All 36 clubs sit in one table, and each plays 8 different opponents, 4 at home and 4 away. Matchday 4 is the halfway point. After the 8th round:
- places 1 to 8 go straight into the round of 16
- places 9 to 24 play a two-legged knockout play-off for the other 8 spots
- places 25 to 36 are out, with no drop into the Europa League.
That's why you'll see mid-table games in November treated like finals: the line between 8th and 9th decides whether a club gets 2 extra matches in February.
What else is on this weekend in Kenya time?
The Premier League round before these games starts with Chelsea v Manchester United at 3:30 PM EAT on Saturday 31 October.
