Football (or soccer, as it's known in the United States) might not have the same level of popularity in the US as it does in the rest of the world, but more and more Americans are falling in love with the sport every year.

So, when the FIFA World Cup returns this fall, expect even more of your friends to tune in to watch. With the right video-streaming service, you can join in on the fun too.

The World Cup 2022 kicks off Sunday, Nov. 20, with group-stage matches beginning at 11 a.m. EST. The tournament will make history as the first time it is being hosted outside of Europe and Africa. The location is in Qatar, a country located in Western Asia.

This will also be the first time a Middle Eastern country has had the honor of hosting the prestigious FIFA World Cup.
