The Big Ten coverage in 4K will begin March 9 with two first round games at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET. On March 10, Fox will stream four second round games in 4K at times to be announced later. On March 11, the network will provide four quarterfinals games in 4K at times to be announced later.  Fox will not stream the Big Ten semifinals or final in 4K. CBS has the TV rights to those games.

The pay TV services that are expected to carry both tournaments on special 4K channels are DIRECTV, Dish, Comcast, Verizon, Optimum, YouTube TV, and FuboTV. (In markets where the Fox affiliate is provided with your programming package.) Check your on-screen guide for more details.

Fox will simulcast 4K games in HD on FS1, Fox and the Big Ten Network.

Note: Fox’s 4K broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p HDR. Upscaling is the process when one video format is converted to another. Fox takes the 1080p HDR signal and converts it to a 4K format. Upscaling 4K is not considered as good as native 4K, but the inclusion of HDR can offer heightened colors and vividness.
