The biggest football tournament in the world is upon us and starting from today, millions of people around the world will be glued to their screens, cheering for their favorite teams, till one of them takes the 2018 FIFA World Cup home. The month long tournament will be filled with exciting displays of sportsmanship and I, for one, am not going to miss even a moment of it all.
1. SonyLIV
Sony Pictures Network India (SPN) has acquired the media rights for this year’s FIFA World Cup in India and has chalked out an exhaustive telecast plan for all football fans in the country. Since Sony has the exclusive broadcasting rights, the FIFA World Cup matches will be broadcasted on the company’s OTT platform SonyLIV. The matches will be broadcasted in four languages – English, Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam – and will be supplemented with relevant telecast data, including live scores, player positions, team previews, match stats and other interactive experiences to keep you engaged.
If you’re an Airtel subscriber, you’ll be able to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup live on your smartphone on the Airtel TV app. As mentioned earlier, since Sony has the exclusive rights to telecast the World Cup in India, you’ll have to select Sony TEN channels within the app to watch the matches live.
In order to do so, you’ll first have to download the Airtel TV app on your device (duh!). Once you complete the registration process, you’ll have to select the Live TV option in the bottom right corner of the app and navigate to one of the Sony TEN channels. The live stream will begin as soon as you click on the channel.
If you’re a Jio subscriber, you’ll also be able to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup live, provided you have Jio Prime membership and access to the JioTV service. In order to watch the World Cup live using the JioTV app, you’ll have to log into your Jio account on the JioTV app and search for the Sony TEN channels to watch the matches live.
Unlike the Airtel TV app, the JioTV app doesn’t require you to have a Jio SIM installed on your smartphone. You just need your Jio account credentials and you’re good to go.
Also, in case you’re not in India, but don’t want to miss out on the fun, here’s a list of all the other TV channels around the world on which you can catch the action live:
