- World Cup 2010 Dates And Times Of Games - Cliff Cheng LF
The 19th FIFA World Cup is being held in South Africa, which will allow football fans in Europe to watch matches live at sensible times – in the afternoons and evenings.
For American fans of soccer the majority of matches (including the Final and Semi-Finals) will take place at respectable hours. Unfortunately for those on the Pacific Coast some games will be played very early in the morning.
Here is a fixture list of all the World Cup team's dates and times of games to help fans prepare, plan and schedule TV viewing of the tournament. The times are listed in local, South African time (GMT +1).
To convert these times to Eastern Standard Time (EST) minus 6 hours, Central Standard Time (CST) minus 7 hours, Mountain Standard Time (MST) minus 8 hours and Pacific Standard Time (PST) minus 9 hours.
For a full listing of dates and times in Eastern Standard Time, check ESPN and for UK times check the BBC.
