Canada is making history at the World Cup and experiencing the greatest moment in the men's program.

Stephen Eustáquio's late winner sent the CanMNT through to the round of 16 for the first time, with Morocco confirmed as their opponent on Monday night after an incredible penalty shootout win over the Netherlands.

That match takes place on Saturday, July 4 at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT in Houston.

As a result, the Canadian Premier League and the Northern Super League have modified the start times for three different matches on the same day.


Atlético Ottawa vs. Cavalry FC

Previously: 3:00 pm ET / 12:00 pm PT
Now: 4:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm PT

Should Canada vs. Morocco go to extra time, the match would have overlapped with another fixture, though that concern has been resolved after the game was moved back an hour.

Vancouver FC vs. Inter Toronto FC

Previously: 6:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm PT
Now: 7:00 pm ET / 4:00 pm PT

Montreal Roses vs. Vancouver Rise FC

Previously: 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT
Now: 3:30 pm ET / 12:30 pm PT

It could be a tight squeeze should Canada vs. Morocco go to extra time and potentially penalties, with the match kicking off at 1:00 pm ET and potentially running as late as 4:00 pm, which would see it overlap with this game.
