The 2022 World Cup has come to a close and while off-pitch controversy continues to reign and the headlines remain late host nation rule changes, on the pitch there will still be millions tuning in to the games.
In the UK, each match will be broadcast free on either the BBC or ITV, and both broadcasters have now announced their lineups of pundits, analysts and commentators, which in itself is always a tournament talking point.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch every game, with upcoming updates for the knockout stage in Qatar.
When the BBC is listed as a broadcaster, the TV channel will be BBC One, unless otherwise stated, and the game will be streamed live via BBC iPlayer.
When ITV is included, the TV channel will be ITV1 unless otherwise stated and games will be broadcast via ITVX, the new online service to replace ITV Hub. These games will also be on STV where available.
