Why the SAST time changes
The draws are always at 15:00 and 19:00 in Greece, but Greece uses daylight saving time and South Africa does not. So both draws move by an hour in South Africa twice a year:
| Period | Greek time | SAST |
|---|---|---|
| Last Sunday of March → last Sunday of October | 15:00 and 19:00 EEST | 14:00 and 18:00 |
| Last Sunday of October → last Sunday of March | 15:00 and 19:00 EET | 15:00 and 19:00 |
Next changes: from 28 March 2027 the draws are at 14:00 and 18:00 SAST, and from 31 October 2027 at 15:00 and 19:00 SAST.
Every day, holidays included
Greece Extra 5 is not moved for public holidays: both draws have been held every single day since 2012, including Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Greek Orthodox Easter.
Betting cut-off
South African bookmakers set their own cut-off for Greece Extra 5 Afternoon and Evening bets, usually about 30 minutes before the draw. Always check the closing time on your bet slip.
