The Time-Of-Flight (TOF) detector of the ALICE experiment is optimized to provide charged-hadron identification to study Pb-Pb collisions (√ {s} = 5.5 TeV per nucleon pair) at the LHC. The apparatus, a large 80-ps-resolution cylindrical array, has been installed and commissioned and it is currently fully operative. Cosmic-ray data collected in 2008 have already shown the very good performance of the detector which is collecting more data for accurate timing calibrations. An overview of the system and its present status will be reported as well as the results obtained with cosmic-ray data and the expected performance at the LHC startup.
