The first match of the 2022 Men’s FIFA World Cup will kick-off at 9pm (AEDT) on Monday, November 21, 2022. The tournament is being hosted by Qatar and will conclude with the final at 2am (AEDT) on Monday, December 19.
The fixtures were drawn on 1st April 2022 where 32 qualifiers were divided into their eight groups.
The World Cup sees the 32 teams divided into eight groups of four, with each side playing three matches against the other opponents in their group.
The top two teams from each of the eight groups at the end of the first stage advanced to the Round of 16.
From there, it’s straight knockout – eight winners advancing to the quarter-finals, then the four winners to the semi-finals, before the final.
