 FIFA 2022 World Cup, Here are all the Jio Cinema alternatives you can use in case you do not have a good experience with the streaming app. 

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar kicked off yesterday, the first football World Cup taking place after the Covid-19 pandemic. However, many Indian football fans had a rough start to the tournament on the night of November 20 due tp issues with Jio Cinema, the official streaming app. The end result was that thousands of users faced a choppy live stream feed. This left many who had no access to TV/DTH services like Tata Play with no way to watch the World Cup 2022 Opening Ceremony and the first match of the Cup that followed, as host nation Qatar was beaten 2-0 by   Ecuador. While a quick update by Jio Cinema fixed the issues by the end of the game for many, also bringing in some feature, others may still be looking for alternate ways to watch the tournament. Here are all the different features you can officially stream the World Cup if you do not wish to use the Jio Cinema app.ways

Sports 18 Jio TV

While Jio Cinema was made accessible for all users whether they are subscribed to Jio or not, Jio Tv is app/ service only for Jio subscribers. While it didn't offer to stream the World Cup directly, jio TV does let you stream some TV channel o the app using the internet. These include Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD, the official channels that stream the Cup. This lets users use the Jio TV app to stream the World Cup games. To do this, simply open and log in to the  Jio TV app on Android and under the TV guide section choose the Sports category. Then scroll down until you find the two Sports 18 channels.

Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD

The official channel to stream the World Cup 2022 tournament and perhaps the best way to watch the Cup' matches right now is subscribing to Network 18's Sports 18 TV channel either via your cable/DTH operator. I you have a TV that supports high definition playback HD you can also opt for Sports 18 HD, which will give you a better experience with higher resolution and wider 16:9 aspect ratio. Since both Sports 18 and Sports 18 HD were not using the web to stream the opening match on November 20, those watching the game on TV didn't face issues like lag, delay and choppy stream. It is also unlikely that you will face any issues with Sports 18 in the upcoming matches of the tournament. 

VI Movies and TV, VI App

Vodafone Idea users also have a worker round to watch the World Cup 2022. User a VI number can download the May VI app on Android or iOS. Users can also use the Vi Movies and TV app to stream matches for free. Both app will, however, require you to first log in using your Vodaphone Idea number and an OTP (one time password).
