Unlike previous years, this 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in winter instead of the usual summer months, due to the high temperatures that are recorded in the host country in summer. Therefore, the competition will be held in Qatar and on this occasion, it will begin on November 20 .
Although at the time of writing this article the competition has not even started, Google has already “predicted” which will be the teams that will play the final . We don’t know if it is a prediction of the algorithm, a joke, or a simple mistake, but if the final ends up being played between France and Brazil, Google could end up stealing the position of top soccer oracle from the endearing octopus Paul .
How to watch the Qatar 2022 World Cup online and live
The broadcast rights of the FIFA World Cup are one of the most desired sports broadcasts on the planet. Most public television will broadcast at least some free-to-air matches, both on TV and streaming. Now, if we want to see the Qatar 2022 World Cup in full with its 64 games, we will have to opt for a payment platform. But let’s go in parts.

In Spain, the Qatar 2022 world championship will be broadcast by RTVE for free and open . The public channel will televise all the matches of the Spanish team, which we can watch online and live through the RTVE Play app or from its website .

Of course, if we are looking for “the complete experience” then we will have to hire Movistar Plus+ , which is the platform that has the rights to broadcast all the matches of the championship. The 64 games will be broadcast through Gol Mundial , the channel created specifically for this competition.

Soccer fans in Mexico have several options to enjoy the Qatar 2022 World Cup, both through television and through different streaming platforms.

For its part, Televisa will also share this same programming for its open signal.
The most complete offer will be offered by SKY Sports on its pay television, which will include all the matches of the championship with a total of 64 matches.

Now, if we want to follow the 64 games that make up the World Cup, we will have to opt for the SKY platform.
USA
In the US, soccer is not as popular as in other countries, and that is something that can be seen in the available offer, since the FIFA World Cup can only be seen through FOX Sports .
FOX Sports is a pay television channel, but it also has its corresponding app to watch the games in streaming.

If we live in another country that we have not mentioned and want to watch the World Cup in Qatar online and live, the best thing we can do is turn to public television in our country.
