Who Has Streaming Rights For the World Cup 2022?

In the United States, FS1 and Fox Sports will be the primary broadcasters for the world cup 2022 free livestream, airing all 64 matches. Both of these networks are available on all major streaming services, including DirecTV Stream, YouTube TV and FuboTV. However, if you are in the UK or Ireland, you may have to look for other options.

Fox Sports

Fox Sports has secured streaming rights to the World Cup 2022, and will air 35 games during the tournament. It will include 21 group matches and six round-of-16 matches. Matches will be televised on various times throughout the day, starting as early as 5 a.m. ET on Monday. On Tuesday, the first match between the United States and Senegal will be televised on FS1. The next day, Portugal plays Ghana at 11 a.m. ET, and the third place match between the hosts and the South Americans is set for the afternoon.

Paramount+

Paramount+ has landed a major soccer deal with UEFA for streaming rights. The deal is worth more than $1 billion. Paramount will pay UEFA $250 million every year to stream the tournament. That's a big jump from the current payment of around $50 million a year. Paramount was among several media companies interested in the rights, but was able to beat Amazon to the prize. The deal expires in 2024.

SuperSport

African football has struggled to get meaningful broadcast deals with local broadcasters, but SuperSport has secured streaming rights to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The South African sports network will broadcast all 64 matches from Qatar in high definition, with a complete broadcast package that includes analysis and supplementary programming. It will also stream general news and sport action from the tournament.

TenPlay

TenPlay is a subscription service that offers streaming rights for a variety of sporting events, including the World Cup 2022.

While the service is only available in Australia, it is compatible with most devices. The service has geo-blocking capabilities that honor regional broadcasting agreements.

FuboTV

FuboTV has acquired the exclusive streaming rights to the qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The deal includes 70 qualifying matches, re-air rights, highlights, and original programming. The deal starts in June and continues through early 2022.

Fox

Fox Sports is set to carry all 64 matches from the 2022 World Cup live. The network will air 35 matches on Fox, 29 on FS1 and one on FuboTV. In the United States, Fox will air the matches beginning at 10 a.m. ET and ending at 2 p.m. ET on Friday. Matches will also be aired on YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream.
