ESPN2 and ESPN Classic Will Re-Air World Cup Matches

The World Cup will be held while many of us will either be getting ready to work or be at work so we may not be able to see the matches live. To rectify this, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic will re-air all of the 64 matches throughout the tournament. In addition, ESPN3.com will archive the matches through the rest of the year so you can see them online. You can check out the press release.

166 Hours of 2010 FIFA World Cup Match Re-airs on ESPN Classic and ESPN2

All 64 Matches to be Archived on ESPN3.com and Available for Replay Through End of Year

ESPN Classic and ESPN2 will combine to re-air all 64 matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup beginning Friday, June 11, through Monday, July 12. Each match day, generally between 6 p.m. and 12 a.m. ET, ESPN Classic will present all the matches played earlier in the day on ESPN/ESPN2, totaling 113.5 hours.  ESPN2 will also re-air the best match of the day on select nights throughout the tournament, dedicating 53 hours to match re-airs during the month.  

In addition, ESPN3.com, ESPN’s signature broadband network available in more than 50 million homes, will archive all 64 matches and make them accessible for fan viewing through the end of the year. All South Africa 2010 matches will be available for replay on ESPN3.com shortly after completion.
