2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off on Monday, November 21
The world cup 2022 fixtures singapore time will begin on Monday, November 21 with a group stage with four games each day. The group winners and runners up will advance to the knockout stage.

The first round of group games will kick off at 1:00pm local time, with matches in the knockout stages starting at 7:00 pm.
Matches will start at 1pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm
The dates of the World Cup matches in Qatar are changing after the country made a request to FIFA. Qatar was originally penciled in to play the opening game against Ecuador on November 21. The move would give the country a new start date. In addition, the opening ceremony would begin at 1pm local time, which would allow fans to watch it in comfort. As a result, FIFA is likely to approve the change.
Some games will start in the morning
FIFA has agreed to shorten the schedule for the 2022 World Cup, with some matches starting in the morning. The shortened schedule is the result of talks with the European football leagues, which will play their club games until Nov. 13. This will allow the host nation to start the tournament on a day that does not conflict with other games. It could even allow the opening ceremony to be held before the first match at the Al Bayt Stadium. After that, matches in the knockout rounds would start in the evening.
Some will start in the evening
Some World Cup matches in Qatar will start in prime time. Other matches will begin later in the evening. For example, on Thursday, the USMNT will play the Netherlands. The next day, Mexico will play Canada. NBC Sports estimates there will be around four games per day. But, despite these early game times, some games will still be played on weekdays in the evening. In fact, some of the World Cup games will even be played during the daytime.
Some will be played on Thanksgiving Day
If you're a soccer fan, then you've probably wondered why some World Cup games in Qatar will be played on Thanksgiving Day. Usually, this is a day when you watch NFL football, but this year, the World Cup is in Qatar and four games will be played there on Thanksgiving Day. The teams will play against Switzerland, South Korea, Ghana and Portugal. And, on Thanksgiving itself, Brazil will play Serbia.
Coverage will be split between BBC and ITV
ITV and the BBC will share the cost of broadcasting the 2006 World Cup and the next World Cup in South Korea. The two companies had fought over rights to the 2002 World Cup, but the BBC agreed to share the cost after talks between the two sides. The BBC will also air England's games, and the Government will protect the final from commercial pressure. Despite the thorny issue, the World Cup is still the biggest sporting event in the world and the BBC and ITV have secured a significant chunk of it.
