What channel is Qatar vs Senegal on? World Cup kick-off time, TV and live stream details

The second round of World Cup group stages kick off today after a rollercoaster opening five days.

This lunchtime sees Qatar hosts Ecuador with both needing a win to maintain any chance of progressing into the knockout stages.

The hosts opened the tournament last Sunday with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Ecuador, while Senegal were unable to capitalise on a number of chances they created against the Netherlands, with two late goals producing the same result for Louis van Gaal's side.

Here's all you need to know as Qatar host Senegal today.

The match kicks off at 1pm UK Time, which constitutes a 4pm kick-off time in Qatar.
