Beijing FC vs Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors: Kickoff, Venue and How to Watch

Beijing FC host Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC at Workers’ Stadium on Tuesday, October 27, in AFC Champions League Elite Matchday 3. Here are the confirmed kickoff times, what the teams have done in their first two matches, and how to find an authorized viewing option in your country.

Kickoff time and venue

The AFC schedule sets kickoff for 8:15 p.m. in Beijing on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. The match is at Workers’ Stadium and is part of the East league stage. Beijing uses China Standard Time (CST, UTC+08:00), so the same start is 12:15 p.m. UTC. The J.League fixture listing gives 9:15 p.m. JST.

FanCode’s fixture page displays a 5:45 p.m. start for Beijing Guoan vs Jeonbuk Motors, which matches 12:15 UTC converted to India Standard Time. The listing uses “Beijing Guoan,” while the AFC and J.League schedule call the club “Beijing FC.” For the venue, date, and official local kickoff, consult the AFC’s 2026/27 match schedule and the J.League fixture listing.

Recent form: Beijing’s perfect start meets Jeonbuk’s response test

Beijing have won both opening league-stage matches. They beat FC Pohang Steelers 3-1 at home, then took a 1-0 win away to Buriram United when substitute Fabio Abreu scored in the second half. The results give Beijing six points and show that they have found goals both from the starting attack and from the bench. The AFC’s reports cover the Pohang match and the Buriram match.

Jeonbuk began with a 2-1 comeback win over Kashiwa Reysol, then lost 2-0 to Vissel Kobe. In the opener, Tiago Orobo equalized before substitute Italo scored the winner; at Kobe, Jeonbuk pushed after halftime but conceded a second in the 68th minute. They travel to Beijing with three points and a clear opportunity to reset their campaign. Read the AFC accounts of the Kashiwa win and the Vissel Kobe defeat.

The practical matchup to watch is whether Beijing can use home pressure to keep the game in front of them, or whether Jeonbuk can turn it into a more open contest and again make an impact through substitutes. The first two rounds are useful context, not a guarantee of what happens next.

Team news: confirmed lineups are still the key check

The AFC’s October 26 preview confirms the fixture but its accessible copy does not include an injury list or starting XI. Treat predicted lineups as projections, not confirmed news. Check official club channels and the AFC match page near kickoff for the team sheets.

Official ways to watch

Broadcast rights depend on territory, and no reader market was specified for this article. The confirmed India option is FanCode: the AFC identifies it as its media partner for India during the 2025–2028 cycle, and FanCode has a specific page for this match.

FanCode’s match listing shows the venue and 5:45 p.m. start, while the AFC’s partnership notice confirms the India relationship. That does not establish access in other countries or the price of this particular stream, so check the current app listing before kickoff.

Which option should you choose?

If you are in Beijing and can secure a legitimate ticket, the stadium is the direct way to experience the match; check official entry information before traveling. If you want the full game, use the authorized broadcaster for your location and confirm the match is included in your package. If video is unavailable or bandwidth is limited, official score updates provide the simplest fallback. Whatever you choose, use the Beijing kickoff time—8:15 p.m. CST—and convert from the UTC time of 12:15 p.m. if you are scheduling from elsewhere.
