I presume the latest kick off time will be 9pm Moscow time (6pm BST), with the earlier games at 3pm and noon (BST).

Russia will permanently revert back to "winter time" this October, which means that Moscow and St Petersburg will only be 2 hours ahead of BST (and 1 hour ahead of CEST) in the summer of 2018.
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-f...where-28423647 So if the late matches start at 21:45 local time, we would have our familiar Champions League kick-off times. Of the proposed venues, only Yekaterinburg seems to be in another time zone (now GMT+6, i.e. GMT+5 from October 2014, which is 4 hours ahead of BST). I could imagine a schedule like this: Group stage MD 1&2: 14:30 / 17:00 / 19:45 BST Group stage MD 3: 16:00 / 19:45 Round of 16: 16:00 / 19:45 Quarter finals: 16:00 / 19:45 Semi Finals: 19:45 3rd Place: 19:45 Final: 19:00 |

Remember in the 2002 World Cup which was in South Korea and Japan, one of the England games kicked off at 7.30am British time, against Nigeria IIRC.
Many people were late in for work that day. |

It would make sense to see who plays who and adjust the KO time accordingly. If two European teams met, as will happen, a later KO would be appropiate, certainly for TV figures!

3pm will be too early. My guess is 6pm and 10pm. There will be more than two timezones though. Games will be in Yerkaterinburg for example which is GMT+6

A 2 hour difference would be the same as Poland and the Ukraine, so we can probably expect similar kickoff times to 2012
