RC Lens welcome Bodø/Glimt on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, for a UEFA Champions League fixture (Round 6). Here are the start times for fans watching from different parts of the world.
Kick-off times around the world
The start time depends on where you are: 5:00 PM in Brazil (Brasília), 8:00 PM in London, 1:30 AM on Thursday in New Delhi, 7:00 AM on Thursday in Australia (Sydney), 3:00 AM on Thursday in Indonesia (Jakarta), 5:00 AM on Thursday in Japan and 5:00 AM on Thursday in South Korea. It is a late one for viewers in New Delhi, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea, where the game starts in the small hours. Those are the times as scheduled at the moment, and they can still move if the league changes the fixture.
Recent meetings
There is no recent head-to-head on record for RC Lens and Bodø/Glimt, which leaves the history out of the picture. That puts the focus on the current season, and on what each side does on the day.
What to expect
RC Lens will want the home crowd involved early, while Bodø/Glimt will aim to stay organised and make the first hour uncomfortable. Games like this tend to turn on small details, whether that is a set piece, a single mistake or one moment of quality. Neither RC Lens nor Bodø/Glimt will want to fall behind early, and the opening twenty minutes may say a lot about how the game goes. Every point counts in this UEFA Champions League season, and neither side will give any away easily. A good atmosphere in the stadium can make a real difference, and both sets of supporters will have made their plans. Form can count for a lot, but it rarely settles a game on its own. Home form and away form can look very different over a season, and this game is a fair test of both. A clean start and a solid shape at the back are usually the first things coaches ask for in games like this. For the neutral, there is plenty to enjoy in a match between two sides with something to play for. Anyone planning to follow the match from abroad may want to check the start time once more on the day. However the match unfolds, it will add another chapter to the season for both clubs. As ever with fixtures like this, the pre-match talk counts for little once the first whistle goes. Supporters of both clubs will be hoping for a performance as much as a result.
