Qatar and Ecuador will play the first game of the tournament. They played each other in 2018 and Qatar won with a score of 4–3. In its history, the Ecuadorian national team has been to three World Cups. 2002 was Korea-Japan, 2006 was Germany, and 2014 was Brazil. So when they go to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, it will be the fourth time the team has been to a World Cup.

Where to watch Qatar 2022 football opening live?

In Mexico, you will be able to watch it on free TV, pay TV, and digital platforms. Some of these options are better than others, though. For instance, broadcast TV doesn’t show all the games, but it does show the opening ceremony, the final, and the games of the Mexican National Team.

TelevisaUnivision said that all of its channels, including Televisa’s open TV channels, N+, and the VIX streaming platform, will offer an extra 40 of the 64 World Cup games. Ten of these matches will only be available on the paid level of VIX, called VIX+. TV Azteca said that it will show 32 World Cup games, which is the same as 50% of what is on offer.

Sky is the best choice for pay TV, since it has always had the rights to the World Cup and will show the whole Qatar 2022 match. In the Blue To Go app, they also have a way to stream.
