This is not the first time that DIRECTV has aired a college football game in 4K. The satcaster last year showed some Notre Dame home games in the new picture format.
In addition to the college football action, DIRECTV says it will air five more English Premier league Soccer games in 4K. The games will also air on channel 106, except the Chelsea vs Manchester City matchup, which will be on channel 105.

DIRECTV has changed the minimum package required to get its live 4K channel to Select so more subscribers could access it as well as the satcaster’s two other 4K channels, which are devoted to recurring programming and Video on Demand. However, the MLB games require a Choice package or above because the MLB Network channel is not available in the Select plan.
