beIN has set up six dedicated MAX channels for coverage of this event, and in addition, it will provide broadcasts in 4K HDR quality and multilingual programs in Arabic, English, and French.

During the World Cup, viewers will have access to daily analytical programs, exclusive team documentaries, special reports from host cities, previews and reviews of matches, and live coverage of press conferences in addition to watching the matches.

For field coverage, 18 reporters will be stationed in the USA, Canada, and Mexico to relay the latest news, side stories, training sessions, and team reactions in real-time.
