The second edition of the FIFA World Cup finals to feature Canada kicks off with hosts Qatar facing a tough test against Ecuador on Sunday.
In common with Les Rouges, both sides involved in the opener will have designs on becoming surprise success stories of the tournament — and with the Netherlands and Senegal also in their group, starting with three points could be particularly important for these teams.
Canada would not be able to meet either team until the semifinals stage of the competition.
Here's everything you need to know to watch the match in Canada on TV or online via live stream.

How to watch World Cup 2022 in Canada
Here is the full 2022 World Cup match schedule with broadcast information for across Canada.
Every match from the entire World Cup will be broadcast in Canada, either on cable or terrestrial television. Additionally, every match from the tournament can be streamed.
Every Canada match, as well as 15 group-stage games and over half the knockout stage, will be shown on over-the-air television via CTV.
All World Cup matches will be available to watch on TSN except for select matches in the third round of the group stage.
In this round, two matches have simultaneous kickoff times for sporting purposes, making it impossible to show both on a single channel. For this round of matches, in each kickoff window, one game will be shown on TSN while another is moved to TSN2.
