Fox on Saturday (October 4, 2025) will air the Wisconsin at Michigan Big Ten college football game in upscaled 4K. The game, which will kickoff at noon ET, will be simulcast in high-definition on Fox network affiliates. (Fox will also provide the pre-game show in upscaled 4K starting at 10 a.m. ET.)

How Can You Watch Fox’s 4K Games?

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.

Who’s Expected to Win the Wisconsin-Michigan Game?
Michigan (3-1) is a 16.5-point favorite to defeat its Big Ten rival, Wisconsin (2-2). ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Michigan a 89.1 percent chance of winning.

Who Are the Key Players In the Game?
Michigan will be led by freshman QB Bryce Underwood who’s completing 66.1 percent of his passes. Junior running back Justice Haynes is averaging 8.1 yards per carry with 537 yards. For Wisconsin, QB Danny O’Neil is completing 70.1 percent of his passes.
