Watch Every Match on beIN Sports and TOD
beIN Sports holds the exclusive regional rights, and it carries all 104 matches live in full HD — on TV and through its streaming services, TOD and beIN CONNECT.
Dedicated World Cup Channels
beIN Sports is running eight dedicated channels for the tournament, with up to 17 hours of live coverage a day:
- beIN Sports MAX 1–4 — Arabic commentary.
- beIN Sports MAX 5 — English commentary.
- beIN Sports MAX 6 — French commentary.
- beIN Sports 4K HDR and beIN Sports News — flagship matches and round-the-clock studio coverage.
Coverage runs in Arabic, English and French, so you can pick your commentary language for each game.
Streaming on TOD and beIN CONNECT
Prefer your phone, tablet or smart TV? Both TOD by beIN and beIN CONNECT stream all 104 matches live in HD, mirroring the TV channels.
