What Is Kickoff Time?
Kickoff time is the start of a soccer game. Kickoff times can be displayed in local time in the location that a game is being played, or in local time where you are viewing a website from. For example, kickoff time at Old Trafford for the Man Utd game might be 15:00 GMT (local time in Manchester), but 10:00 EST in New York once the time difference is applied. For this reason, at WinDrawWin we think it is easier to talk about kickoff times in terms of hours and minutes to kick off. This way everyone can easily understand when a game kicks off, no matter where they are in the world.
Is It Kickoff or Kick Off?
Is the start of a soccer game the "kickoff" or "kick off"? The word for the start of a soccer game can be spelt in a number of ways. The correct use is "kickoff" to describe the start of a soccer game (that is, the noun). For example "What time is kickoff?"
The word "kick-off" (commonly with a hyphen) can also be used as an adjective to describe something that comes first. For example, to throw a "kick-off meeting" to start negotiations with someone. in this instance the word "kick-off" describes the word "meeting" as a first meeting of many that might occur in the negotiation.
The phrase "kick off" is a verb-phrase. To "kick" is the verb. So, the two words "kick off" could be used in the context - "Man Utd and Arsenal meet each other at Old Trafford to kick off the new season"
