World Cup 2010 Schedule

May 10th, 2010 | by: Daryl | View Comments

Below you’ll find the schedule for World Cup 2010. Every World Cup match, in the order they’ll be happening, organized by date and kickoff time. It’s not as pretty to look at as our two World Cup 2010 wall charts, but it does contain a lot of useful information and will hopefully help you plan your time from June 11th to July 11th.

For matches that are already over, we’ve added scores and links to our match reports. Click on each one to read more and watch video of the goals.

All you need to do after reading the World Cup schedule is decide how you’ll be watching (we recommend watching the World Cup in high-definition, since you ask) and whether you’re brave enough to skip work/school if necessary.

Then you just have to wait until it all begins on June 11th. Which is a lot more difficult than it sounds.

All kickoff times are local.
