We are just weeks away from the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and FOX Sports is beginning to amp up its coverage.
This week, FOX Sports unveiled the full list of commentators, analysts, and reporters that will be covering the tournament along the way. This year, every announcer, reporter, and analyst will be in Qatar to provide live coverage.
John Strong and Stu Holden are the lead commentary team for FOX’s coverage, while former USA soccer stars Cobi Jones and Landon Donovan will also be in the booth. Donovan will be paired with Ian Darke, while Jones will be calling games with JP Dellacamera.
Kate Abdo and Rob Stone will serve as studio hosts, with Alexi Lalas, Carli Lloyd, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu, and more providing analysis from the stateside studio.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup will kick off with the group stage in November this year, with the championship game set for December 18 at Lusail Iconic Stadium.
