The schedule at a glance
Alvarez vs Mbilli UK date and time
The advertised event date is Saturday 31 October. That date identifies the Riyadh event; it does not, by itself, establish when the main event reaches British screens. A final local running order is needed to confirm the separate viewing times below.
| Schedule detail | UK information |
|---|---|
| Advertised event date | Saturday 31 October 2026 |
| Broadcast start time | To be confirmed |
| Main-card start time | To be confirmed |
| Alvarez vs Mbilli ringwalks | To be confirmed; exact UK date also pending |
| UK time zone | GMT (UTC+0) |
| Fight location | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia |
The Ring’s event listing and the WBC broadcast guide do not currently give a consistent basis for an exact UK start time. An event-page timestamp should not be treated as a confirmed main-event ringwalk.
If the headline action takes place after midnight in Britain, the UK calendar date will be Sunday 1 November 2026. That is a possible consequence of a late schedule, rather than a confirmed appointment for the fight.
Before you set a reminder
UK start time and ringwalks explained
The broadcast start time is when a programme begins. The main-card start refers to the featured supporting programme. The ringwalk time is when Alvarez and Mbilli are expected to enter for the headline bout. These are separate times, and none has yet been reliably confirmed for UK viewers.
Even after an expected ringwalk time is announced, earlier bouts can affect it. Short fights, long contests and production changes can move the headline entrance. Use the broadcaster’s live running order on the night as well as its advance listing.
Britain will be on GMT, UTC+0, after the clocks go back on 25 October 2026. Riyadh is three hours ahead of GMT. For example, 21:00 in Riyadh would be 18:00 in Britain; this illustrates the time difference and is not the announced fight time. GOV.UK clock-change dates.
