TV Answer Man, any news on the 4K game on Fox this week? And if there is one, will it still be upscaled 4K instead of the real thing? — Gene, Pittsburgh.

Gene, Fox this week will offer two more college football games in upscaled 4K, not native 4K. The first 4K game will be Friday at 9 p.m. ET (October 4) when unranked Michigan State will play 6th ranked Oregon. Game two in upscaled 4K will be Saturday at noon ET (October 5) when UCLA will visit 7th ranked Penn State. Both games will be simulcast on Fox network affiliates in high-def.

How Can You Watch Fox’s Games In 4K?

Fox’s 4K games can be seen in the format on the Fox Sports app by logging in with your TV Everywhere user name and password from your pay TV provider. (Note that the Fox Now app is no longer available.)

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

Gene, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
