The platforms will aggregate all available English and Spanish
live coverage and on demand replays into one comprehensive
destination, and include new features designed to bring the best
and simplest FIFA World Cup™ viewing experience to pay TV customers
and streamers alike.
FOX Sports and Telemundo are the official FIFA World Cup™
English and Spanish language broadcast rights-holders for the
tournament, which takes place in Qatar from November 20 to December
18.
“The FIFA World Cup™ is going to be one of the biggest sporting
events in 2022, and with streaming coverage from Peacock and Tubi,
there will be more ways to watch than ever,” said Vito Forlenza,
Executive Director, Product Management, Comcast. “Our platforms
will bring together all the various viewing options into one
comprehensive destination, making it easy for our customers -
whether a pay TV customer with X1 or a steamer with Flex or XClass
TV – to enjoy all 64 matches, live or on demand, in the language of
their choice.”
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ on X1 and Stream
X1 will once again deliver the most robust and feature-rich FIFA
World Cup™ viewing experience, offering Xfinity TV customers a
simple and intuitive way to access all tournament coverage from
across networks and streaming services including Telemundo,
Universo, Peacock, FOX, FS1, and Tubi. This year’s destination,
which can be accessed by saying “World Cup” or “Copa Mundial” into
the Xfinity Voice Remote, will feature:
- The first FIFA World Cup™ in Dolby Vision – only on
Xfinity X1: Xfinity will be the only place in the U.S. where
fans can experience FOX’s live 4K match coverage in Dolby Vision
HDR. Available on eligible X1 set-top boxes, this milestone marks
the first-time U.S. consumers will get to experience the FIFA World
Cup™ in best-in-class HDR when viewed through a Dolby Vision
capable TV.
- A personalized viewing experience: In just a few clicks,
X1 customers can choose their favorite teams to create a custom
FIFA World Cup™ viewing experience across devices, putting live
coverage and match highlights of their favorite teams front and
center within the destination. They can also opt to get
notifications directly on their TV and/or mobile device when their
favorite team is about to take the pitch, and to get quick links to
post-match highlights.
- Interactive bracket: For the first time, X1’s tournament
bracket will be interactive, enabling fans to track the latest
schedule, get the latest scores and standings, and prepare for
upcoming matches with the ability to set recordings or
reminders.
- DVR highlights: Leveraging machine learning technology
within Comcast’s global technology platform, fans will find
high-impact plays, like goals, penalty kicks and amazing saves
noted in the playback bar of their DVR recording so they can
quickly catch up on the biggest moments from the match.
