FIFA World Cup – An Overview

The FIFA World Cup, also known as the World Cup, is an international association football tournament contested by the senior men’s national teams of members of FIFA, the sport’s global governing organization. Since the first tournament in 1930, the championship has been awarded every four years, with the exception of 1942 and 1946, when it was not held due to World War II. France is the current champion, having won the 2018 event in Russia for the second time.

The current model includes a qualification round that lasts three years and determines which teams will compete in the tournament phase. During the tournament phase, 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), fight for the championship over the course of around a month at venues throughout the host nation(s).

Eight national teams have won the 21 World Cup events. Brazil has won five tournaments and is the only team to have competed in all of them.

The World Cup is the world’s most renowned association football tournament, as well as the most extensively watched and followed single athletic event. The total number of people that watched the 2006 World Cup matches was predicted to be 26.29 billion, with 715.1 million individuals watching the final game, accounting for a ninth of the world’s population.

Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup, while Canada, the United States, and Mexico will jointly host the 2026 World Cup, making Mexico the first country to host games in three World Cups.

Watch FIFA World Cup 2022 without cable, with these streaming services!

The English-language World Cup broadcasts will be televised by FOX in 2022, which means the entire event will be broadcast under the Fox Sports banner. However, Fox Sports is a brand that Fox employs across numerous networks, including FOX, FS1, and others, rather than a channel. The majority of the games, including the majority of the major ones, will be broadcast on FOX’s main channel, but the rest will be broadcast on FS1. Telemundo, NBC Universo, and NBCSN are the only Spanish-language channels available.

Here’s a run-through of the streaming services that will provide you access to stream the FIFA World Cup 2022 on your Roku (or any other streaming device):

1. DIRECTV Stream

DIRECTV Stream has gone by a lot of names, but no matter what you call it, it’s a wonderful way to watch the 2022 World Cup. In comparison to cable and satellite, the pricing of DIRECTV Stream is also inexpensive.

2. Hulu+ Live TV

Hulu+ Live TV is Hulu’s skinny-bundle service, which is already well-known for its on-demand programming. (If you choose Hulu Plus Live TV, the on-demand material is included in your subscription.) FOX, FS1, Telemundo, and NBCSN are all available on this live TV streaming service.

3. fuboTV

It’s no surprise that fuboTV is on this list because it was launched as a soccer streaming service. It was reintroduced as a more general-interest thin bundle a long time ago, but it’s still a terrific option for sports lovers, especially soccer fanatics. In fuboTV’s channel lineup, you’ll discover FOX (in some markets), FS1, Telemundo, NBC Universo, and NBCSN.

4. Sling TV

Sling TV’s channel lineup only includes FOX in a few markets, so if you want to watch the World Cup, you’ll need to combine it with an antenna. However, Sling TV does provide live streams of FS1, NBCUniversal, and NBCSN.

5. YouTube TV

Because it includes FOX, FS1, Telemundo, NBC Universo, and NBCSN among its live streaming channels, YouTube TV, Google’s thin bundle, is a wonderful option to watch the World Cup without cable.
