NBC’s Olympic Soccer Schedule, on TV and Online
Bookmark this post. You’ll thank me later.
Ladies and gents in the US, behold, I bring your the schedule for all soccer coverage in the Olympics on pretty much every channel that will be showing coverage.
I also bring you NBC’s announced lineup for soccer commentators:
SOCCER: JP Dellacamera, play-by-play; Glenn Davis, play-by-play; Adrian Healey, play-by-play; Steve Cangialosi, play-by-play; Marcelo Balboa, analyst; Brandi Chastain, analyst; Shep Messing, analyst; Lori Walker, analyst.
And on the off chance that you weren’t riveted by qualifying and may not be 100% sure who’s actually going? Here’s the link to the the post with the Olympic groups, both men’s and women’s.
SOCCER SCHEDULE:
I believe all times listed are Eastern, but be sure to check your local listings. (I have to say that so you don’t blame me when the US goes to the final and you miss it because you got the time wrong.)
A few notes:
- Yes, soccer does start a couple of days before the official opening ceremonies. It’s a scheduling thing. The women will each play a group stage game on Wednesday, August 6. The men play on Thursday, August 7. Opening ceremonies are on Friday, August 8.
- There are a number of places in the schedule where soccer is shown as part of a long list of sports scheduled for a long block of time — say, 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. I’ve tried to warn you this may happen by putting “and lots of other sports” as part of the listing.
Unless a game is listed as “live,” it could show up at any time in that block. If you’ve ever watched the Olympics with an eye on one specific sport, you know what I’m talking about. They’ll say, “Coming up soon… Badminton!” and two hours later you’re still waiting. To avoid this, try to catch the games you want on the smaller channels that mention specific times and include the word “LIVE”.
I’ll be updating this post with specific times for live games as I find them, so bookmark this page and keep checking back.
- If you’d like to watch the games online at the official NBC site, go to this link.
- The NBC Soccer Channel is a soccer-only cable channel offered only by certain cable companies.
At the time of the original announcement, the two companies listed were Comcast and Cox.Despite much effort, I’ve been unable to get a definitive list of cable companies carrying this channel. NBC’s press releases say “most” cable companies will offer it, but this appears to be wishful thinking on somebody’s part. In particular, Comcast got some great publicity by being a part of the original announcement, but few of their local affiliates seem to be offering it. I’ve left several messages with Comcast but haven’t been able to get them to call me back.Here’s a list of cable companies that may be offering it:
NBC Universal (NBCU) today announced distribution of an “enhanced” content offering for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with the cable industry, including Comcast Cable, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Charter Communications, Bright House Networks, Mediacom, Bresnan, Atlantic Broadband, Knology, Midcontinent Communications, Blue Ridge Communications, NPG Cable, OneLink Communications and Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico, and Grande Communications.
But no guarantees. Contact your own cable company to find out if it will carry the soccer channel. If so, leave a note in the comments and I’ll update the post.
- I pulled this from a much (much, much) longer schedule and tried to delete everything non-soccer-related. That’s been a bit difficult due to how the schedule was written. (It also reminds me, yet again, just how short my attention span is.) If you catch any errors, please leave a comment and I’ll fix it.

So many sites list the game times as the start of the channel coverage.
For example, the Tuesday women’s match between the U.S. and New Zealand is listed as 4:00 AM U.S. Central time. However, the ussoccer.com shows the actual match time as starting at 6:45 AM U.S. Central.
My DISH listing for MSNBC only shows 4:00 AM Central as the start of coverage.
So far, the us soccer web site has given the correct times for the start of the match so I can record it.

Please tell me why American soccer broadcasters insist on using the word SERVICE in describing what everyone in the soccer world knows is a PASS.As in english meaning: Passing the ball from one player to another
Example: a bad pass.a terrible pass. a great pass.a lousy pass. a terrific pass.There is a sport for the correct unlimited use of the word SERVICE and that sport is TENNIS. In wanting to be different Americans often get things wrong because they refuse to follow anything that is traditional, in fact, they enjoy breaking down traditions and replacing it for the most part with utter rubbish and destroying whats left of their understanding of the English language.

Wow. Thanks for the post. You’d think NBC might actually tell people about soccer or even broadcast some games in primetime. But I did get to get see synchronized diving. It was right after Olympic Checkers.

Thank you Laurie for all your efforts to untangle the soccer schedule mess that NBC has presented to its viewers. I am waking up at 5 am to watch soccer on NBC (ch 2 and or MSNBC ch 356)scheduled sometime between 5 am – 2 pm. The whole thing is such a fiasco,with getting the results of matches you want to watch LIVE. This has crippled my viewing enjoyment so now I wait for the results at the end of the day. I am sure there a lot of people out there as disappointed as I am.To NBC I say “The way to hell is paved with good intentions.

I am new to this blog. can you
fellows tell me more about this blog?
What is the main focus here? thanks
a lot
Isn’t this supposed to be a blog specifically written about soccer? I am only 18 and see the immaturity in the people who insist on arguing over countries on here. GROW UP. Just watch the Olympics and if you have something to say just shut up because no one cares. The US will win because we are the best country of all
Thank you for taking the time to post a soccer schedule. It was helpful.

Any updates on QF matches? No info as to what matches will be live and where.
There are 2 matches at 6am and 2 at 9am. Which will be shown live on HD (soccer channel)?

It’s good to see that traitor Rossi and his diving teammates sent home by a team who was a man down. Ciao!
Brandi Chastain is a HORRIBLE commentator. I hope this is the last time I hear her on TV… ever. Great player… great defender… horrible TV personaltiy.
At least she’s not negative 100% of the time anymore like she was during the group stages. Was like watching a game with an angry old lady.
I feel bad for JP. Just let Balboa do men’s and women’s.

The American Commentators almost completely ruin the beautiful experience of soccer. Their comments are narrow and shallow and they don’t even know how much frustration they cause.

NBC Soccer Channel is also available on Verizon FIOS TV HD Channel 897 (at least in the DC Metro area).
Please can you clarify the actual time for the men’s final? you list it on 2 days (friday and saturday). Also anyone know what channel on TimeWarner NBC Soccer channel is?

The best schedule I found online after much searching was the Seattle Times @ http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/olympics/2008093760_olytv07.html
but I’m still unsure about the Eastern/Western time zone.
So, the US Women are playing a Gold Medal match against Brazil and IT’S NOT ON ANY CABLE CHANNEL. This is ridiculous. Im pissed.

love Brandi Chastain as a player…
but good grief, please gag her…she is one of these people who some long winded comment about everything, and especially the obvious things. Just one platitude after another. Turn the sound off.

Please help! Thank you for this great listing! I missed the Women’s game and I want to catch a repeat; however, I can’t find this so called “NBC Olympic Soccer Channel”. How do I go about finding out the what channel it corresponds to in my area?

Melanie, you’ll have to call your cable company to see if they offer it. Good luck! (P.S. It was a fantastic game.)

thanks for this site. I’ve enjoyed all the games and hope that Brandi Chastain loses her voice

Big thank you for the Direct tv posts. I was getting tired of waiting for the ‘rewind’ on the NBCOlympics site. Still better than listening to the monotone blathering of Brandi Chastain though!
