Free Ways To Watch World Cup 2022 In Germany: TV Channels

If you’re planning on watching the FIFA World Cup in Germany this winter, there are a few different ways. The most popular way is to live stream the event on your computer or device, but several cable and satellite providers air the tournament live.

You can stream World Cup 2022 in Germany for Free on ARD and ZDF.

♦ ARD

The German broadcaster ARD will air 34 matches, including all sixteen knockout stage contests. Even if you aren’t subscribed to ARD, you can watch every game via a virtual private network or live-streamed online. You can also purchase the complete FOX Sports package and watch every game without any interruptions from commercials.

♦ ZDF

ZDF will broadcast 26 matches live throughout the tournament, with replays available later in the day. Again, these matches can be watched without a pay-TV subscription using a virtual private network.

Paid TV channels:

♦ DAZN

♦ Sky Sports

♦ Deutsche Telekom

Telekom Deutschland-owned Magenta TV has secured German pay-TV rights to the tournament in Qatar. Magenta TV is set to stream 16 matches exclusively; however, it does not have first-choice privileges in selecting the matches on its platform, as these rights are held by national broadcasters ARD and ZDF.

Fox Sports will air all 64 matches live, starting with the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador on Sunday, November 20th. Soccer fans can also find Fox Sports broadcasts available through participating pay-TV providers across Germany. You can watch some matches on television via channels like Sky Sports 1 or 2 or Eurosport Player. However, these channels tend to geo-block and you must use VPNs.

Germany's expectations ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup

The goal is simple: given that die Mannschaft are one of the greatest footballing nations, both historically and currently, the objective will be to win a record-equaling fifth FIFA World Cup in Qatar. However, the four-time champions have been placed in a tricky group and will likely battle it out with Spain for the top spot.

Additionally, should Germany make it out of the group stage, Flick's men could face another difficult test in the round of 16 due to the bracket as one of Belgium, Croatia, or even Canada likely await them in the knockout stage.

Germany: Key Players for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

The European giants are blessed with talent, but should Germany go all the way and lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup title, then a few players will need to be at their best. The first name is an obvious mention as it is none other than Manuel Neuer, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the beautiful game. The Bayern Munich icon was at the heart of the nation's 2014 success and will need to be unbeatable in goal once more.

However, a brilliant goalkeeper is nothing without a formidable defense and this is why Antonio Rudiger will be key for the four-time world champions. The Real Madrid center-back established himself as one of the best out there during his time with Chelsea and will look to keep things tight at the back.

Two midfielders to keep an eye on are Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundogan as the Bayern Munich and Manchester City pair are two excellent maestros with vast experience and knowledge of the game. Flick's side will attempt to dominate most of their games and this aforementioned duo will be key to that.

And finally, while Thomas Muller has 10 FIFA World Cup goals under his belt and could equal Miroslav Klose's record in what looks to be his final tournament, we wanted to give a shoutout to another player, one who will make his debut in this competition. That person is Jamal Musiala, the brilliant Allianz Arena talent who is destined to make the final roster. The 19-year-old has already hit double digits in goal contributions in the Bundesliga alone and could show football fans across the world why he is regarded as one of the best young players out there.
