How much of the world's metro power sees each league's typical kick-off in prime time.

Typical windows, not a fixture list

Data as of 31 Oct 2026

Leagues by prime-time reach

Share of world metro power for which the league's main window falls between 18:00 and 22:59.

How reach is counted

Each league carries typical kick-off windows in its home zone, not a fixture list. The next occurrence of each window is converted to every metro's clock and weighted by Metro Power. Daytime is 09:00 to 17:59 and overnight 23:00 to 05:59; the rest is early morning. The best window is the listed window with the highest prime-time share. Clock changes move the shares through the year.
