The television schedule for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.
2014 is the last year the World Cup will air on ESPN family of networks. Starting with next year’s Women’s World Cup, FIFA events will air on Fox Sports. Despite being a lame duck, ESPN will again devote substantial attention to one of the world’s biggest sporting events, televising all 64 matches live (43 on ESPN, 11 on ESPN2, 10 on ABC).
ESPN will air all three United States group play matches — USA/Ghana on June 16 (5:30 PM ET), USA/Portugal on June 22 (5:30 PM) and USA/Germany on June 26 (11:30 AM). ESPN will also air both semifinals and the third-place match.
The World Cup final is scheduled for ABC on July 13 at 2:30 PM ET. Every ABC match will air either at 11:30 AM, 2:30 PM or 3:30 PM.
World Cup matches will also air on the Univision family of networks. The schedule for the Univision matches will be added when released.
