<p>Teams competing in the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/category/world-cup-2022/">2022 World Cup</a> have a very short window to prepare of the tournament. As the World Cup in Qatar is being held during an unusual time, teams have much less time to train together prior to the competition.</p>



<p>Most European clubs have matches scheduled up until Nov. 13. This is just one week prior to the opening game of the World Cup. Obviously, most of the nations that feature players in European competitions will get less than seven days together before the start of the tournament.</p>



<p>Despite this small window, there will be a plethora of international friendly games prior to the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">World Cup</a>. There are currently 23 international matchups involving World Cup teams on the schedule. However, a majority of these fixtures will not be streamed on <a href="https://www.espn.com/watch/schedule/_/type/upcoming/categoryId/119cfa41-71d4-39bf-a790-6273a52b0259/startDate/20221115" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ESPN+</a>. </p>



<p>The first day that the streaming service will air international matches involving World Cup teams is November 16th, as Poland will face Chile in Warsaw. ESPN+ will also stream 10 other international men’s matches on this day that involve nations not competing in the upcoming tournament. </p>
