At the last World Cup, four years ago, you couldn’t watch the football (soccer) action in 4K live at home, and HDR TV standards weren’t even a thing. The biggest single sporting event in the world is usually used as a TV sales pitch every four years for manufacturers, and this time we’re finally getting the latest and greatest technology. It’s the perfect hat trick: 4K, HDR, and live in your living room.

In the US there are a variety of ways to access 4K World Cup matches. Hisense is delivering 4K HDR streams of every World Cup on its H6E, H8E, or Laser models, with the Fox Sports World Cup app (for cable subscribers). AT&T’s DirecTV network is broadcasting all games in 4K HDR, and Dish is showing 56 of the 64 games live in 4K HDR. Comcast Xfinity X1 customers will be able to watch on-demand a day later in 4K HDR, and Layer3 TV / Altice will also be broadcasting in 4K.
