The World cup kicks off with a bang!

Qatar will host the 2022 World Cup from November 20 to December 18, with Qatar taking against Ecuador this Sunday. Jung Kook of BTS, among other guests, is scheduled to play at the inaugural ceremony earlier.

Qatar's selection as the host country for the 2022 World Cup has been a source of contention for some, considering the country's history of corruption and bribery, as well as criticism for its exploitative treatment of migrant workers and less-than-progressive attitudes on LGBTQ+ and women's rights.

When we find out who qualified for the World Cup, there is usually a lot of talk—and national pride. Each division has 32 World Cup qualifying teams: Africa (CAF), Asia (AFC), Europe (UEFA), North/Central America & Caribbean (CONCACAF), Oceania (OFC), and South America (CONMEBOL). FIFA has divided the qualifying teams into eight draws:

  • Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands comprise Group A.
  • Group B consists of England, Iran, the United States, and Wales.
  • Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland form Group C.
  • Group D consists of France, Australia, Denmark, and Tunisia.
  • Group E consists of Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, and Japan.
  • Belgium, Canada, Morocco, and Croatia are in Group F.
  • Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon form Group G.
  • Group H consists of Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea.

The World Cup 2022 will be broadcast live in the United States on FOX Sports and FS1 in English, as well as Telemundo in Spanish. Both of these channels may be accessed via major platforms such as Peacock TV, Hulu, YouTube TV, and Sling, among others.

Tubi, an ad-supported streaming site, will broadcast all World Cup events for free. However, there is a catch: the matches will only be available as on-demand replays.
