Geek Squard Posted November 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) The FIFA World Cup starts on November 20, 2022. I'm curious to know if the games will be televised on the ships? In the US, FOX Sports (FOX and FS1) have the TV rights. Edited November 4, 2022 by Geek Squard Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted November 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Most likely in the pub. Looking forward to seeing the real football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted November 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) In the past, it has varied. One year there was a dedicated World Cup channel in your stateroom that showed live matches as well as replays 24/7. I've seen games shown on the giant pool screen before. I also remember watching a US match in a lounge where they set up a TV specifically for the match. Short answer... they will almost certainly be shown somewhere if not in multiple locations. Playmakers is a safe bet if your ship has one. Edited November 4, 2022 by OCSC Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be in Cozumel when Mexico play Poland and I'm looking forward to finding a bar and watching the game with the locals. Black Friday will be interesting....England (me) vs USA (my wife) 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All down to the coach - he is very defensively minded. If he lets the team play their natural game rather than his typical over-cautious approach, England should walk this game - and the group.

Billy Baltic Posted November 6, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Might be worth checking out the times the games are taking place. It’s possible the time difference will takes some games out of ‘bar’ time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t looked at the entire schedule but I know the US plays all 3 of their group stage matches at 2pm et. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a Baltic cruise during the World Cup once with a really big group of passengers from Mexico. When Mexico played it was so much fun around the ship, we love football here in the UK but they were something else. A bar in Cozumel for the game sounds great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games were shown in bars and on stateroom TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
