What time does the EPL start in Nigeria?
Nigeria runs on West Africa Time, one hour ahead of UK time in winter and level with it during British Summer Time. In practice that means the classic Saturday 15:00 UK kick-off lands at 16:00 in Lagos during the winter months, the early game at 12:30 UK becomes 13:30, the late Saturday game at 17:30 becomes 18:30, and Sunday's 16:30 fixture starts at 17:30. Midweek rounds usually kick off between 20:00 and 21:00 WAT. This page does the conversion for you on every fixture, using the exact date of each match rather than a fixed offset.
