Gulf Cup final: 10pm in the UAE, and the fan-flight details to check

The UAE play Saudi Arabia in the Gulf Cup 27 final on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. According to the UAE Football Association announcement reported by WAM, kick-off at Alinma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah, is 9pm in Saudi Arabia and 10pm in the UAE.

For a plan made in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, put 10pm UAE time in the calendar. If you are sharing an invitation with friends in both countries, include both times and the date. A bare “9pm” is an excellent way to spend an hour explaining the calendar invitation.

UAEFA has announced six chartered aircraft to carry UAE supporters to Jeddah. The 4 October release said a registration link would be made available that Sunday. The release establishes the initiative; it does not establish whether places remain available at the time you read this guide.

If you are interested in the flights, use the association’s current official announcement to find the registration route and terms. Before planning around a place, obtain confirmation of your registration status, departure airport, check-in time and return arrangements. Keep match admission and travel confirmation together so you can see exactly what has been arranged.

Watching from the UAE needs a shorter checklist: confirm that your chosen venue or viewing service is showing this particular match, then agree when to arrive and how everyone is getting home. We have not verified a specific public screening, broadcaster or ticket offer for this article.

The confirmed match details are the useful anchor: Tuesday 6 October, UAE versus Saudi Arabia, 10pm UAE time. Flight availability and any individual booking conditions need a current response from the organiser. Check for official schedule updates before setting out.
