The world’s biggest sporting event is finally here again: the men’s soccer World Cup.

All 64 games of the tournament will be on TV in the United States live from Qatar, played at eight stadiums packed into a country the size of Connecticut. All the venues are within a 22-mile radius in and around the country’s capital, Doha.

Here’s what you need to know about how to watch the action.

What channel is the World Cup on TV?

Fox Sports has the rights in English, and Telemundo — owned by Philadelphia-based Comcast — has them in Spanish. Fox is putting 34 games on its free-to-air broadcast network and 30 on cable channel FS1. Telemundo is putting 56 games on its free-to-air broadcast network and eight (all simultaneous kickoffs with other games) on cable channel Universo.

Between the two networks, a total of six games are exclusively on cable. You’ll find them in the full game schedule below.

Who are Fox and Telemundo’s World Cup broadcasters?

Fox’s top team is John Strong and Stuart Holden. A few weeks ago, they called the Union’s last two games of their first run to MLS’s championship game.

Former Union local TV play-by-play voice JP Dellacamera is also part of Fox’s crew, calling games with former U.S. star player Cobi Jones. Ian Darke, who became famous for his viral calls of U.S. goals at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, calls games with one of those goal-scorers: Landon Donovan. The other teams are Jacqui Oatley and Warren Barton, and Derek Rae and Aly Wagner. Jenny Taft, Tom Rinaldi, Rodolfo Landeros and Geoff Shreeves are the crew of sideline reporters.

Rob Stone hosts studio coverage with a wide range of analysts, including Delran’s Carli Lloyd and former Union captain Maurice Edu. Fox’s full roster is available here.

Telemundo’s lead game-caller is Andrés Cantor, who’s been broadcasting the World Cup for over 30 years. There’s a rotating cast of other play-by-play broadcasters and analysts including former U.S. star player and under-20 men’s national team coach Tab Ramos. Cantor, Ramos and Manuel Sol call all three U.S. group stage games. Telemundo’s full roster is available here.

Will Fox and Telemundo talk about Qatar’s alleged human rights abuses?

Don’t expect it from Fox. The network’s World Cup executive producer David Neal told The Inquirer last month: “We believe that viewers come to Fox Sports during the World Cup to see the greatest sports event in the world. They don’t come to us expecting us to be [HBO’s] Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, or [ESPN’s] E:60. That’s not who we pretend to be, and I don’t think that’s what the viewer expectation is.”

Fox also is taking a lot of sponsorship money from Qatar Airways, Qatar’s state-owned airline.

Telemundo did air a segment on the subject during its pregame show on the World Cup’s first day.

“We will certainly cover anything that occurs that would affect the tournament, anything that’s happening in-country during those 29 days,” Telemundo Deportes president Ray Warren said before the tournament. “I do think we have to kind of talk about the legacy we leave. And by the time the tournament is over, we will have been not ignoring the geopolitical issues that might arise, should that occur.”

Where is the World Cup live streaming?

Fox’s live streaming is available through FoxSports.com with authentication through participating TV providers, or through the streaming apps of those providers. Streaming TV sites that have FS1 include fuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream. Full-game replays are available for free on Tubi right after the final whistle, including broadcasts in 4K. But they won’t be live there.

Telemundo’s live streaming is in two places: TelemundoDeportes.com if you have a pay-TV subscription, and on Peacock. You’ll have to pay for the premium tier to get all the games, but it’s a way to watch games without cable.

Where is the World Cup radio broadcast?

There is no traditional radio broadcast in English, unfortunately. SiriusXM’s subscription service has audio simulcasts of Fox’s TV broadcasts. Most games are on Fox Sports channel 83, with some simultaneous games on SiriusXM’s soccer channel 157. TuneIn is also simulcasting Fox’s audio on its paid subscription tier.

SiriusXM will also have a lot of studio shows on its soccer channel. Jason Davis is the lead host, and analysts include former U.S. stars Tony Meola and Eric Wynalda. The network’s full roster is available here.

There is traditional radio in Spanish on the Fútbol de Primera network, which has an affiliate in Philadelphia at 1540-AM. Live streaming is also available for free via fdpradio.com and FDP’s app. Their play-by-play voices include Nico Cantor, who also hosts CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League whiparound show.

Can we just get to the World Cup game schedule now?

Yes. We try to answer as many questions as we can in these guides, but we know what you’re here for. If you want to read more of our World Cup coverage, click here.
