TV Answer Man, do you know if Fox will have any college football games on today (August 23, 2025) in 4K? Do you know when the first 4K games will be on Fox? Many thanks for all you do for us!! – Steve, Fairfax, Virginia.

Steve, thanks for that. Fox’s first upscaled 4K college football game of the 2025 season will be the Auburn-Baylor game at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, August 29. Fox network affiliates will simulcast the game in high-definition.

What Are Fox’s Upscaled 4K Broadcasts?
Fox’s 4K live sports broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p HDR (High Dynamic Range). 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. ESPN also upscaled its 4K broadcasts from a 1080p HD signal.

How Can You Watch Fox’s 4K Games?
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. Fox says the new Fox One app will also carry the network’s 4K broadcasts. Pay TV subscribers who have Fox in their packages get free access to Fox One.

The pay TV services that normally Fox games in 4K on special 4K channels are DIRECTV, Dish, Sling TV, Comcast, Verizon, Optimum, 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.

Steve, I hope that answers your question. Happy viewing and stay safe!
