GoKawiilThe FIFA Men’s World Cup is almost here, and this one will be the biggest ever. The tournament is hosted by three countries: Mexico, Canada, and the US. The games will be played in stadiums across all three.
This World Cup is huge, competition-wise, as it is the first to include 48 teams in the tournament instead of 32 in past World Cups. That means a whole bunch more games are being played over the course of a month. 104 games, to be exact. That’s a lot of football. Here’s how to watch them all.
Where to Stream
If you have satellite TV or cable service, you can watch all the kicking live on TV via Fox Sports in the US. It will also be available on the FoxOne streaming service for $20 per month.
