See explanation.

Explanation:

This sentence is in Present Simple tense.

A sentence in present tense can inform about arrangements for the future (usually near).

If the arrangements are official (often based on different time tables), then we use Present Simple tense:

The example sentences can be:

  • The nearest train to London leaves at 10:14 a.m.

  • The match starts at 8:30 p.m.

If the arrangement is personal (unofficial) then we use Present Continuous tense.

Examples:

  • I am playing tennis with John on Tuesday.

  • Steve is visiting his dentist tomorrow at 11.
