AFC Champions League Elite Fixtures: Pakhtakor vs. Al Nassr Club — Kickoff, Venue and How to Watch

Updated November 1, 2026: Pakhtakor is scheduled to host Al Nassr Club in Matchday 4 of the AFC Champions League Elite 2026–27 on Monday, November 2. Kickoff remains set for 6:45 p.m. in Tashkent (Uzbekistan Time, UTC+5), or 1:45 p.m. UTC. A November 1 report from The National says Cristiano Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman, and Mohamed Simakan were left out of Al Nassr’s traveling party. The club has not published its official starting lineup at the time of this update.

The AFC’s official Matchday 4 schedule lists Pakhtakor against Al Nassr Club at Pakhtakor Stadium on November 2, with an 18:45 kickoff. Pakhtakor’s official fixture page also lists the match for 18:45. The AFC’s November 1 match preview describes it as a Monday fixture. These current listings agree on the date, venue, and kickoff; no official postponement or venue change was found when this guide was updated.

What time is Pakhtakor vs. Al Nassr?

The scheduled start is 6:45 p.m. in Tashkent, which is UTC+5. That converts to 1:45 p.m. UTC on Monday, November 2. The FanCode match listing shows 7:15 p.m. India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same kickoff expressed in India’s time zone.

For viewers in the United States, the match starts at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and 5:45 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Monday. The conversion uses standard time because U.S. daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on November 1 in 2026, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. If you are watching from another U.S. time zone, convert from 13:45 UTC or use a calendar entry set to your location.

Where can you watch the match?

India: FanCode has a dedicated Pakhtakor vs. Al-Nassr match page, listed as Match 49. The AFC previously named FanCode its media partner in India for the 2025–2028 cycle. Check the listing close to kickoff for the live-stream option and current pass terms; a match listing does not guarantee availability outside the territory covered by the rights.

United States: I could not verify an official U.S. broadcaster for this specific match from the AFC’s current rights information or a broadcaster announcement checked on November 1. The AFC’s Where to Watch page is the place to check for a territory-specific listing. Do not assume that Paramount+ carries this fixture because it streams other AFC competitions; confirm that this match is included before subscribing or setting an alarm.

Other countries: Broadcast rights vary by territory. Use the AFC’s current broadcaster guide or the local rights holder’s schedule, and verify that Pakhtakor vs. Al Nassr itself is listed. FanCode’s India listing is not a worldwide rights guide.

What is the latest team news?

The National reported on November 1 that Cristiano Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman, and Mohamed Simakan were left at home for Al Nassr’s trip to Tashkent, describing the decision as squad management. The report says Joao Felix and Sadio Mane traveled. Treat these as reported traveling-party absences, not as an official starting lineup or as injury and suspension confirmations. The AFC preview does not list a confirmed XI, and neither club’s official fixture information had published one when this guide was checked.

Pakhtakor’s official fixture page and the AFC preview confirm the match, but neither names players ruled out through injury or suspension. No reliable official injury or disciplinary update for either side was available in the sources checked. Starting lineups can change the expected shape of a match, so use the club team sheets or the AFC match center once they are released rather than relying on predicted XIs.

The AFC preview provides brief form context rather than lineup news: Pakhtakor is still seeking its first win in the competition, while Al Nassr is looking for a second victory after opening its campaign with a defeat. That context is useful for following the matchup, but it does not establish who will start or how either coach will approach the game.

How to follow the live score and result

Before kickoff, check the AFC competition page, the clubs’ official channels, and FanCode’s match page for any last-minute schedule or team-sheet update. If a live page still says “upcoming” after 1:45 p.m. UTC, refresh it; a score feed may update a little later than the broadcast. Around a video review or a stoppage-time incident, wait for the match center or referee’s decision to confirm the event before sharing it.

After the final whistle, confirm the score and scorers through the AFC match center or the clubs’ official reports. The result remains pending in this pre-match update. The AFC preview notes that Pakhtakor is seeking its first win and Al Nassr its second, but those aims are not a prediction or a substitute for the final score.

Quick checklist before kickoff

• Set a reminder for Monday, November 2, at 6:45 p.m. Tashkent time (UTC+5) or 1:45 p.m. UTC.
• For the U.S. East or West Coast, use 8:45 a.m. EST or 5:45 a.m. PST.
• Check the stream in your own country and review the current pass terms before paying.
• Look for official starting lineups near kickoff; the AFC preview has not confirmed them.
• Use the AFC match center or official club reports for the verified final score.

The fixture time and venue remain consistent across the AFC schedule, FanCode listing, and Pakhtakor’s official fixture page. The notable pre-match update is The National’s report that Ronaldo, Coman, and Simakan did not travel with Al Nassr; official lineups and the final result remain to be confirmed.
