Time doesn't have an opposite.
One of the requirements for having an opposite is existing regardless of whether or not anyone knows. like left and right, to have an opposite something has to "be".
TIME is a human invention, it's just advanced counting. Implied, Not real.

Time exists, but still doesn't have an opposite.(Why wouldn't it exist? We are using the word "time" to refer to a set of commonly-observed phenomena.)
But only some words have opposites. If you asked what is the opposite of a toaster, there is no one answer. You could say it's the refrigerator, whatever is on the other side of the kitchen or the world, or some fictitious device that untoasts bread. I think the best is that it has no opposite.

Time is a measurement. Measurements do not have duality.
What is the opposite of length? What is the opposite of temperature?

The opposite of time would be life going backward. Life can only go forward.

Eternity. Time is something that limits us, and defines our activities by periods. Eternity is the exact opposite.

Time and space are different aspects of the same thing, spacetime. Spacetime has no "opposite." It is all that "is."
