World Cup complete TV guide: How to watch each match at Qatar 2022 for free

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be watched by millions across the world and the good news for fans here in the UK is that all matches will be broadcast live on free-to-air television.

BBC and ITV are sharing coverage of all 64 games from the opening fixture between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday, November 20, through to the final on Sunday, December 18, and each group stage, last 16, quarter-final and semi-final tie in between.

A feast of football will involve four matches per day across the group stages with games kicking off at 10.00am, 1.00pm, 4.00pm and 7.00pm UK time, meaning viewers can watch 11 hours of non-stop action across both channels.

All games will also be available to live stream via the BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.
