US ↔ Europe
Best overlap: 13:00–16:00 UTC. That's 09:00–12:00 ET, 06:00–09:00 PT, 14:00–17:00 London, 15:00–18:00 Berlin/Paris. West Coast attendees can extend to 17:00 UTC if Europe is willing to stay until 18:00.

Europe ↔ Asia
Best overlap: 07:00–10:00 UTC. That's 09:00–12:00 Berlin, 12:30–15:30 India, 15:00–18:00 Singapore/Hong Kong, 16:00–19:00 Tokyo. Tokyo and Sydney drop off if you push past 10:00 UTC.
US ↔ Asia / APAC
There is no comfortable shared window — someone is always early or late. Best compromises: 23:00–01:00 UTC (afternoon US West, morning next-day Asia) or 13:00–15:00 UTC (early US East, evening Asia).
Global all-hands
14:00–15:00 UTC is the only hour that's awake for nearly every populated region. Rotate any meeting that has to extend outside it.

Frequently asked
Is there a single meeting time that works for everyone?⌄
Not really — only 14:00 UTC comes close. For all-hands, rotate the slot so the burden of inconvenient hours is shared.
How do I handle Friday in the Middle East / Sunday in Israel?⌄
Sunday is a regular workday in Israel; Friday is the weekend in much of the Middle East. Confirm the working week before scheduling regional calls.
