If you are trying to follow US Smash from more than one time zone, the hardest part is not only finding the schedule. It is knowing which clock you are looking at.
A fan in China may need Beijing time before setting an alarm. A fan in Los Angeles may need venue time before leaving for Ontario Convention Center. Another fan may already have the official stream open and just wants a calm place to follow the same rhythm with other fans.
This article gives you the safe version: official-source schedule context first, ShatouHub companion links second. For the final match order, draw, table assignment, and watch source, always return to US Smash, WTT, and official broadcasters.
Quick answer
US Smash 2026 is scheduled for 26 June–5 July 2026. The official US Smash schedule page shows qualifying starting on Friday, 26 June at 10:00 venue time, and the main draw starting on Sunday, 28 June at 12:00 venue time.
For China fans, venue time in Ontario, California is 15 hours behind China time during the event window. That means a 10:00 venue-time session appears at 01:00 the next day in China, and an 18:00 venue-time session appears at 09:00 the next day in China.
Use ShatouHub this way:
- First, confirm the final schedule on US Smash or WTT.
- Then open ShatouHub Schedule for the fan-friendly event view:
/schedule/. - Use Countdown when you do not want to calculate the next session manually:
/countdowns/. - Use LIVE only as a same-rhythm companion after you find your official watch source:
/live/.

This is a compact reading guide, not a replacement for the official schedule. It keeps the main tournament rhythm visible without copying every match card.
| Stage | Venue-time window shown by official schedule | China-time reading guide | What to do on ShatouHub |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualifying Day 1 | Fri 26 Jun, 10:00 and 17:30 PDT | Sat 27 Jun, 01:00 and 08:30 China time | Check /schedule/ first, then use /countdowns/ for the next session. |

| Mid-event rounds | Mon 29 Jun–Thu 2 Jul, mostly 12:00 / 18:00 PDT | Mostly next-day 03:00 / 09:00 China time | Track the session window, not a player-specific match time unless official draw/order confirms it. |

| Singles Finals listed | Sun 5 Jul, 19:00 PDT | Mon 6 Jul, 10:00 China time | Confirm final-day order on the official schedule before planning your watch window. |
Important: this guide does not invent player-specific match times. If you are following Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, mixed doubles, or any specific player, wait for the official draw and match order before treating a session as their match window.
How to read venue time vs China time
US Smash uses the local event clock in Ontario, California. During this event, that is Pacific Daylight Time.
China time is 15 hours ahead of the venue clock. The easiest reading rule is:
- Morning venue sessions usually become late-night / early-morning China sessions.
- Evening venue sessions usually become the next morning in China.
- If the session starts after midnight for you, keep the China calendar date in mind so you do not set the alarm on the wrong day.
Examples:
- Fri 26 Jun 10:00 venue time = Sat 27 Jun 01:00 China time.
- Fri 26 Jun 17:30 venue time = Sat 27 Jun 08:30 China time.
- Sun 5 Jul 19:00 venue time = Mon 6 Jul 10:00 China time.
If you only remember one thing: check the official schedule for the session, then use ShatouHub Countdown so the next watch window is not left to mental math.
How to watch together without confusing the roles
ShatouHub does not replace the official schedule, draw, broadcaster, or stream. The safer rhythm is:
- Confirm the official match or session on US Smash / WTT.
- Find the official watch source available in your region.
- Open ShatouHub Schedule or Countdown to stay oriented.
- Open ShatouHub LIVE if you want a same-rhythm companion while you watch.
ShatouHub LIVE is not a video stream. It is a companion layer for public notes, countdowns, and gentle fan presence. Think of it as the page you keep open beside the official stream, not the place where the stream itself lives.
