The most-watched sport event on the planet, the FIFA World Cup, takes place in Qatar this year and starts this Sunday, Nov. 20 and will go until Dec. 18. There are several ways to watch, including cable, satellite, antenna, free streaming, and paid subscriptions. Here’s how you can watch every goal, tackle, and eventually, the winner of the 2022 World Cup.

Where can I watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup for free?
FOX Sports
FOX Sports (FOX and FS1) is the official channel to watch the 2022 World Cup ever since they bought the exclusive English-language rights to broadcast it in the United States. The good news is that FOX Sports is free to download—but it can be tricky to watch. If you have a digital antenna, you should have free access to FOX Sports. If you don’t have one, you can buy TV antennas on Amazon for about $20. Other than that, FOX Sports must be accessed with a paid TV provider, but you might already have access to some of these popular providers via a subscription or if you share an account with a family member or friend.
If you have access to any of the following TV providers (which aren’t free), you should be able to stream the World Cup through FOX Sports:

The World Cup will be on Tubi TV for free to be streamed on-demand, but only after the games are finished. If you go the Tubi route you can still watch the games, just not live, since FOX Sports owns the live rights. It’s still good news, though, for those who live in the West coast since most games will be during 2 A.M. and 5 A.M., anyway.
Tubi TV is available for download for free on Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Xfinity X1, Xbox, Samsung Smart TVs, Sony Smart TVs, Playstation, or on their website.
