EPISODE 1 PREMIERE TIME: 9:00 p.m. Eastern (8:00 p.m. Central). A fan created a countdown to the premiere here.

In the UK, the show will air at 2 a.m. BST on April 15 on Sky (simultaneously with the U.S. premiere) and then again April 15 at 9 p.m. In France and Germany, it looks like the premiere is at 3 a.m., but you’ll want to double check your time zone to make sure.

By the way, if you watch on HBO Now in the U.S., you might get to start watching about three minutes before everyone else. The episodes typically premiere about 8:57 p.m. Eastern on HBO Now, but you might want to start refreshing around 8:55 p.m. Eastern.

AFTER SHOW SPECIAL: Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan are hosting a Game of Thrones after show that will air on Twitter immediately after each show airs on the East coast. This show is called Talk of Thrones.

PREPARING FOR THE FINAL SEASON: To get ready for tonight’s episode, you’ll want to watch this preview below. If you’re planning a watch party, check out these ideas, shared by a big Game of Thrones enthusiast.

And here are some teasers that have aired.
