Where Can I Watch?

Beginning at 11:30 Eastern time, FS1 and Telemundo will broadcast the event in the United States.
How Will The Drawing Work?
On Friday, four pots will be drawn. The rankings are based on the FIFA world rankings, which will be updated on Thursday. Qatar, however, is guaranteed to be in pot one because they are the hosts, which has raised many concerns.
Group A will also include them.
Other teams in the first pot will be the seven highest-ranked sides. Pots two and three will include the next eight highest-ranked sides. Pots four and five will include the next eight after that.
Pot four, however, is interesting. Five places will be determined by rank. The other two will be used as placeholders for the intercontinental playoffs. A play-off will be held between Wales and either Scotland or Ukraine, whose semi-finals have been delayed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In addition, each group is restricted geographically. There can only be one representative per continent, with the exception of Europe, which has two representatives as it provides 13 of the 32 competitors.
Who Are The People In Each Pot?
The host nation, Qatar, and the countries at the top of FIFA’s world rankings form Pot 1. Brazil, Argentina, Belgium, France, England, Spain, and Portugal.
The United States, Mexico, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Croatia and Uruguay make up Pot 2.
Serbia, Poland, Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia, Iran, Japan, and South Korea make up Pot 3.
Pot 4 consists of Canada, Ghana, Cameroon, Ecuador, and Saudi Arabia. As explained above, three teams remain to qualify for Qatar 2022. All three currently vacant spots will be included in pot 4.
Who Is Doing The Drawing?
The draw will be conducted by eight former players and managers, including World Cup winners Cafu, of Brazil, and Lothar Matthaus, of Germany.
There will also be Jay-Jay Okocha, Tim Cahill, Adel Ahmed MalAllah, Ali Daei, Bora Milutinovic, and Rabah Madjer.
What Team Will Win The World Cup?
Brazil, France, England, and Spain are the favorites.
Do You Know Who Is Missing?

Also, Russia missed out on the UEFA play-offs following its invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
