Sabong Schedule Today – Live Card Times
Tonight’s card opens at and runs through the evening, the weekend bracket adds a second card on Saturdays and Sundays, and the international feed runs continuously in between. All times below are Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8).
Today’s Cards
| Card | Start (PHT) | Runs | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asian Pit Cup | Nightly | Derby, cumulative record | |
| Asian Fighting Sabong PH | Sat & Sun | Best of three | |
| Worldwide feed | Continuous | 24/7 | Rolling international cards |
Cards can move when a derby overruns, which is normal — a sabong card finishes when the last sultada is settled, not at a scheduled end time. Open the live streams page to see what is actually running right now.
The Weekly Sabong Calendar
Sabong is not evenly spread across the week: Sundays are the anchor, weekends carry the derbies, and midweek is thin at physical cockpits even though the online feed continues.
That pattern is older than streaming. Licensed cockpits traditionally operate on Sundays, public holidays and local fiesta days, which is when a town can fill the stands and when entries can travel. A derby needs several entries each fielding multiple roosters, so it is scheduled where the crowd is — almost always a weekend.
Fiesta season distorts the calendar in a way worth knowing about. Around a town fiesta a cockpit may run cards on days it otherwise would not, and a pintakasi — the large communal cockfight tied to a fiesta or a Sunday — can draw entries from well outside the host area. If a schedule looks unusually busy for the time of year, a local fiesta is usually the reason.
The online schedule smooths all of this out. When Philippine cards are dark the worldwide feed rolls over to cockpits in other time zones, which is the practical difference between watching online and turning up at a venue.
Manila and Pampanga Schedules
Manila and Pampanga are the two areas people search for most, and both follow the same weekend-anchored rhythm — but exact cards are set by each individual cockpit and change week to week, so no site can honestly publish a fixed timetable for them.
Pampanga in particular has a long association with breeding and with large derby events, and cards there often draw entries from across Luzon. Metro Manila venues tend to run to a tighter weekly pattern because of the population they serve. Neither publishes a permanent schedule; the card is confirmed close to the day.
What we will not do is print a made-up timetable for a venue we do not operate. For a specific cockpit, check that venue’s own announcement. For a card you can actually watch tonight, the schedule at the top of this page is the one we stand behind, because it is ours.
How to Catch a Card You Care About
Sign in before the card starts, not when it does — the player will not start for a signed-out visitor, and the first sultada is usually the one people miss while registering.
Registration takes about a minute and only needs an email address or mobile number, so it is worth doing ahead of a derby night rather than during one. Once you are signed in, the stream opens directly from the schedule. Create an account first, then pick a live card. If you are new to the format, how a pit cup derby is scored explains why a single sultada does not decide the night.
Sabong Schedule FAQ
What time does sabong start today?
The nightly card on this site opens from 7:00 PM PHT and runs through the evening, while the international feed is continuous. Physical cockpits usually start earlier in the afternoon on a Sunday or a holiday and run until the card is finished rather than to a fixed closing time.

Is there sabong every day?
Online there is: the worldwide feed rolls over to other time zones when the Philippine cards are dark. Land-based sabong is not daily — licensed cockpits traditionally run on Sundays, public holidays and local fiesta days, which is why weekend cards are much bigger than midweek ones.
What day are the biggest sabong derbies held?
Weekends carry the derbies. A derby needs multiple entries fielding several roosters each, so it is scheduled when the largest crowd and the most entries can attend — normally a Sunday, and around a town fiesta the calendar fills out further.

Why is the schedule always in PHT?
The cards are produced in the Philippines, so every start time is quoted in Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). PHT does not observe daylight saving, so the offset never shifts during the year — if your own clock changes seasonally, the gap between you and the card will change instead.
