We are less than a month away from the end of the regular season for men’s college hoops and there is a big game coming up this weekend.

The big game this weekend will be between the Kansas Jayhawks and Texas Longhorns. The game is set to air at 6 p.m. on Saturday, February 24, on ESPN.

TVAnswerman.com has reported that this game will be available to stream in 4K and be ESPN’s “4K Game of the Week.”

DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV have been said to be the two TV providers that will have said game available in 4K for its users.

Please note that YouTube TV subscribers must have the 4K add-on for an additional $9.99 a month in order to get access to the 4K stream of the game.

Please note that the regular ESPN channel and ESPN app will only have the game available in 1080p HD. The 4K stream of the game will not be available on ESPN+ either.

According to TVAnswerman, the game “will likely be ‘upconverted’ from 1080p HD.  The upscaled 4K would mean that the game was produced in 1080p HD on site and upgraded to 4K for the home transmission. ESPN did some 2023 college football regular season games in upscaled 4K after offering games in native 4K in previous seasons.”

Both DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV are both available to stream on the Apple TV 4K, along with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Do you plan on streaming this game in 4K on your Apple TV 4K? Comment below or let us know on X at @appleosophy.
