The Basho schedule typically runs from 9am to 6pm (Japan time). Juryo dohyo-iri is just after 2pm with the action starting sometime after that, and makuuchi dohyo-iri is at 3:30pm, with the bouts starting at 4pm usually. This changes on senshuraku (day 15), where things typically start earlier to make sure there's time for the award ceremony. Times may vary.
