Correct airdate

Which airdate is correct for, for example https://www.tvmaze.com/episode/update?id=2661467 - 14 or 15?

Based on the official site https://potion-anime.com/onair/ the airdate it is 14, but at 26 hours.
Also "Special care should be taken when episodes air at or after midnight. To ensure that the episode airdates on TVmaze are in line with the dates used by TV guides and listings worldwide, episodes that start airing at or after midnight but before 5:00 are considered part of the previous day."

That is why I think 14. Could somebody confirm it or correct me?

If something airs between midnight and 4am, the previous date needs to be used.
So, something scheduled to air at 2am on the 14th needs to be added as 02:00 hrs on the 13th.

It's a Japanese thing: they can schedule at 26 hours :) For us it means 2 AM next day.

I've checked on the broadcaster's website and can confirm it's 14th @ 26:00 which means that we enter it in as 14th @ 02:00 as it's before 5am
