Ratchaburi FC vs. Kashiwa Reysol: Kickoff, Venue and Matchday Guide

Ratchaburi FC host Kashiwa Reysol on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, in AFC Champions League Elite League Stage Matchday 3-East. The official schedule and J.League match listing confirm Ratchaburi Stadium as the venue. Their kickoff displays use different time zones: the AFC schedule lists 19:15, while J.League lists 21:15 JST. Converted to the venue’s time, that is 7:15 p.m. in Ratchaburi, Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+07:00), or 12:15 p.m. UTC.

This guide covers the confirmed fixture, the teams’ first two league-stage results, what is and is not confirmed about team availability, and how to check authorized viewing information. No reader country was specified, so a broadcaster cannot be recommended for a particular territory.

Kickoff time and venue

Thailand remains on UTC+07:00 on October 27, and Japan is on UTC+09:00; neither location observes a seasonal clock change on that date. The AFC’s official 2026/27 league-stage schedule lists Ratchaburi FC against Kashiwa Reysol at 19:15 and names Ratchaburi Stadium. The J.League match page identifies the same fixture and venue and gives 21:15 JST. The two displays resolve to the same instant: 12:15 UTC.

Use the time zone label when adding the match to a calendar or comparing listings. A schedule showing 9:15 p.m. may be showing Japan time; it does not mean the match starts at that hour in Thailand. The confirmed venue is Ratchaburi Stadium in Ratchaburi, Thailand. The fixture listings establish the ground, but they do not, by themselves, confirm ticket availability, entry rules, or transport arrangements.

Where the teams stand after two matches

The match pairs a home side still seeking its first points with a visitor coming off a strong win. The AFC’s October 26 preview describes Ratchaburi as needing points after two defeats and Kashiwa as buoyed by its Matchday 2 victory. The official AFC preview is useful for that immediate context, while the match reports provide the results.

Ratchaburi’s opener was a high-scoring 6-4 loss to Shanghai Port, followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Kyoto Sanga. Those results show both that Ratchaburi found the net in its first match and that it was unable to turn either opening round into a point. The AFC reports cover the Shanghai Port match and the Kyoto match.

Kashiwa’s first outing ended in a 2-1 loss to Jeonbuk, but the Japanese side responded by beating Port FC 5-1. That makes the Ratchaburi match an opportunity for both clubs to build on very different Matchday 2 outcomes. It does not determine the rest of the campaign: one result can change the table, but the league stage continues beyond this fixture. The official AFC recaps document Kashiwa’s opening defeat to Jeonbuk and its 5-1 win over Port.

Team news: what is confirmed

The checked AFC preview confirms the matchup and summarizes the teams’ league-stage form, but it does not provide a player-by-player injury or suspension list. The accessible J.League fixture page confirms the date, kickoff display, teams, and stadium; it does not currently show confirmed starting XI names. That means individual availability remains unconfirmed in these official materials. It would be inaccurate to infer that either club has a full squad or to present a predicted lineup as official news.

For the final team sheets, check the AFC match information and the J.League page close to kickoff, where the lineup section is linked. Club announcements may also clarify late absences or squad decisions. Until an official notice or team sheet names a player, treat rumors and prediction sites as unconfirmed. If a lineup appears after this guide is published, use the timestamped official update rather than assuming that an earlier preview reflects the final selection.

Official viewing options

Broadcast rights for the AFC Champions League Elite are territory-specific. The AFC provides an official Where to Watch page, but the accessible page checked for this article did not expose a country-by-country rights listing. No particular television channel or streaming service can therefore be confirmed here for every reader. Check the AFC page and the rights-holder’s own schedule in the country where you will watch before buying a pass or relying on a stream.

When a listing is available, verify that it names this specific match, Ratchaburi FC versus Kashiwa Reysol, and the correct date. Confirm whether the service offers live video, delayed coverage, or only highlights; availability can differ by country, subscription, and device. A competition-level listing alone does not guarantee that a particular match is included in a package. Avoid unofficial streaming links, which may be unreliable and may not have rights to show the game.
