Summary/Abstract: The analysis of temporal characteristics of texts belonging to the communication sphere of media sports proves that the time dimension is an integral part of the communication register of media sports. The main goal of the study is the identification of words with the property of temporality, the categorization of given words and partly the interpretation of their occurrence or pointing out the relationships between them. Within the implementation of the given communication register, temporality is manifested through the plastic use of the grammatical category of time, but also through semiotically identifiable concepts or operations. As the most significant of them can be considered information about explicit time, verbalization of sequence, repetition, frequency, contextual anchoring of currently ongoing events, verbalization of reversal or unexpected event and borderline moments.
