TV Answer Man, any news on Fox’s 4K games this week? – Gene, Pittsburgh.

Gene, Fox on Friday (September 12, 2025) will produce the Kansas State at Arizona college football game in upscaled 4K, according to the Fox One site. The game, which will kickoff at 9 p.m. ET, will be simulcast in high-definition on Fox network affiliates.

Arizona, which is 2-0, is a 1.5-point favorite to defeat 1-2 Kansas State. ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Arizona a 60 percent chance of winning.

Kansas State is led by junior QB Avery Johnson who’s completing 65 percent of his passes with six touchdowns. Arizona’s running back, Qunicy Craig, is averaging more than 10 yards per rush. (15 carries for 156 yards.)

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 or Fox One apps by logging in with your TV Everywhere user name and password from your pay TV provider. (You can also watch the game with a separate subscription to Fox One which costs $19.99 a month.)

The pay TV services that normally offer 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.
