It has happened and the NFL’s regular season is officially over. Now we have the playoffs beginning this weekend and it has been reported that at least one NFL game this weekend will be available to stream in 4K.
The game that will be available to stream in 4K will be the Packers vs. Eagles that will be played at 4:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 12, on FOX.
Previously during the regular season, there has only been one NFL game available to stream in 4K which was the Thanksgiving game that FOX broadcast this past November. FOX Sports has always been known as one of the few networks in the sports media to consistently broadcast or make 4K sporting events available.
When it comes to actually streaming this playoff game live in 4K on FOX, fans will have to be subscribed to a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV, FuboTV, DirecTV Stream, or Sling TV (Sling Blue or Sling Orange + Blue plans only, with FOX only available in select TV markets on Sling TV) which all will have a FOX 4K channel.
Those that have YouTube TV will also need to have the 4K Plus add-on for an additional $9.99 a month.
Another way to stream the game in 4K is through the Apple TV FOX Sports app. Those that use that route will have to sign in with valid TV provider credentials in order to stream the games live and in 4K from that app.
Historically speaking, the FOX Sports broadcast games available to stream in 4K are typically upscaled from 1080p. You will also need a compatible streaming device like the Apple TV 4K in order to stream these games in 4K.
