WORLD CUP 2014

ESPN will air all 64 games from the 2014 World Cup. ESPN will televise 43 matches, while ESPN2 will air 11 and ABC will show 10, including the final. All games will also be available on all available on WatchESPN (ESPN and ESPN2 matches) or WATCH ABC (ABC matches).

Kickoff times are generally noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET until the final games of the group stage when they move to noon and 4 p.m. for the matches that are played simultaneously. The kickoff times remain at noon and 4 p.m. through the knockout stage until the final, which kicks off at 3 p.m. ET.

ESPN’s coverage of every game will be preceded by a 30-minute pregame show, including teams walking onto the field, national anthems and ceremonial handshakes. Post-match segments will follow each game presentation.

Special editions of ESPN's SportsCenter will follow all games except when a game precedes another live event on the network. On every match day, World Cup Tonight will recap the day’s action, and ESPN FC World Cup Encore – which will generally air for two hours on match days on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNEWS – will feature condensed versions of the best action in the day’s matches with analysis from ESPN FC pundits.
