Qualifying for the World Cup from South America is one of the toughest ways to get to the largest stage in global football. Each of the 10 nations plays a total of 18 games in the qualification process.
Despite the game postponements in March 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the South American Football Association (also known as CONMEBOL) plans to postpone all outstanding games sometime in 2022. The football calendar should allow this, as the Qatar World Cup is scheduled to be played from November 21 to December 18, 2022.

Every World Cup qualifier in South America can be streamed in English and Spanish on fuboTV.

The games are also available on a pay-per-view basis through cable and satellite television providers.
This is how the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification works
It’s not complicated in South America. All 10 nations play in round robin format, with each country playing at home and away against the other nine (18 games in total). There are three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for every loss.
After 18 games, the four best teams in the table will qualify directly for Qatar 2022, while the fifth-placed team will move into an intercontinental playoff with a ticket to Qatar.
