The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is now in the quarter-final stage with Portugal playing Morocco today. In India, JioCinema, is the official streaming app, though not everyone has had a great experience with the app. If you are looking for alternate ways to watch the tournament, here are options to keep in mind. Here are all the different ways you can officially stream the World Cup if you do not wish to use the JioCinema app.
Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD
The official channel to stream the World Cup 2022 tournament and perhaps the best way to watch the World Cup’s matches right now is subscribing to Network 18’s Sports 18 TV channel either via your cable/DTH operator. If you have a TV that supports high-definition playback (HD) you can also opt for Sports 18 HD, which will give you a better experience with higher resolution and a wider 16:9 aspect ratio.

Since both Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD were not using the web to stream the opening match on November 20, those watching the game on TV didn’t face issues like lag, delay and a choppy stream. It is also unlikely that you will face any issues with Sports 18 in the upcoming matches of the tournament. For those who want to experience the action in Hindi, MTV HD will also be streaming the matches in Hindi.
Vodafone Idea users also have a workaround to watch the World Cup 2022. Users with a VI number can download the My Vi app on Android or iOS. Users can also use the Vi Movies and TV app to stream matches for free. Both apps will, however, require you to first log in using your Vodafone Idea number and an OTP (one-time password).
Tata Play Web, Tata Play app
Users of Tata Play (previously Tata Sky) can also stream the World Cup via the Sports 18/ Sports 18 HD channels via the Tata Play app on Android and iOS as well as the Tata Play Web interface (watch.tataplay.com) that you can use on desktops and laptops. Note that you will need to be a Tata Play subscriber with an active subscription for this. You will also need to be subscribed to the Sports 18/Sports 18 HD channels which start at Rs 14 per month.
