How to watch World Cup 2022

The time has come. Every four years, the world gathers for the world's biggest sporting event. Football. Or football, if you're in the United States. So you are right to wonder how to watch the 2022 World Cup, especially given the state of the planet, the state of streaming and where the next World Cup will be played.  Here's how it works: 64 men's matches will be played in Qatar and the winning country has the right to boast the next four years. The newcomers will get a chance to challenge the veterans. There will be setbacks. There will be surprises. Goals galore.

And there will also be dramas off the pitch. This year's World Cup takes place in an interesting part of the world, at an interesting time in Qatar, about four months after the regular competition. That means it will be relatively warm, with an average November temperature of around 80 degrees. Yes, you read correctly: the 2022 World Cup will not take place in summer in the northern hemisphere, but on the edge of winter. But we are in Qatar, so the weather will be warm.
