World Cup 2018: How to Watch

The 2018 FIFA World Cup, the biggest soccer tournament in the world, officially kicked off on Thursday in Moscow, Russia with a match between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

That match, which Russia won 5-0, is just the first of 64 matches that will take place over the coming weeks as 24 different countries battle their way for a shot at the championship.

Each match will have an English broadcast air exclusively through Fox, airing on either its main network channel or its top sports channel, Fox Sports 1. Check out the list below to see when every match takes place and where to watch it so you can cheer on your team.

If you don’t have cable, you can live steam all of the matches on Fox Sports’ website or use the Fox Sports Go app via iOS, Android, Xbox One, Roku or Fire TV.
