How to watch the World Cup in India

The world’s best game has its most important event this year, and though India will not be competing in the festivities, the matches will be must-see TV for the entire country. So, here is everything critical Indian fans need to know about how to see all the Qatar 2022 action in their country, including how to watch on TV, while streaming, and when matches start.

Where to Watch Qatar 2022 in India

The primary place to watch all the World Cup action in India will be on the Viacom18 channels. While Viacom18 is not a channel by itself, they own the channels that will broadcast the Cup.

Viacom18 runs various channels, including the Colors channels, the different Nickelodeon channels in India, and a handful of dedicated sports channels. Also, the firm owns content production studios that operate in India.

Streaming Viacom18 channels requires Voot, though the streaming service is unavailable outside India. Accessing the application in other countries is possible, but users cannot watch their favorite channels outside India.

A Guide for How to Stream Qatar 2022 in India

It is a simple, smooth process to get started streaming Qatar 2022 in India. Voot, the streaming service mentioned above, offers all the Viacom18 channels on their platform.

While a soon-to-be-launched streaming service will showcase Viacom18 channels, it will not be online in time for Qatar 2022. That means that the world’s game fans must use Voot to watch the Cup this year. Of course, fans traveling outside India during the Cup cannot see the fixtures with Indian commentary. However, there are still plenty of options for watching the matches outside the country.

Devices Capable of Streaming Qatar 2022 in India

Streaming the Cup should be easy because of all the platforms users can watch Viacom18 channels on with Voot. Voot can stream on many devices, including Android and iOS. Also, streaming Voot is possible on Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Sony TV, Samsung TV, LG Web OS, Jio Fiber Set-top Box, and TataSky Binge App. Still, Voot Select content is unavailable on WebOS and Sony’s OperaOS, though the service’s developers are planning an update to make that possible.
