ESPN has revealed its upscaled 4K college football game of the week and it will be the Saturday night (October 25, 2025) clash between 3rd ranked Texas A&M (7-0) and 20th ranked LSU (5-2). The game will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET from Tiger Stadium on the LSU campus.

While ESPN is producing the event, it will actually air on ABC, which will simulcast the game in HD on ABC network affiliates. The game will be available in upscaled 4K on select TV providers.

Which TV Providers Will Offer the Game In 4K?
YouTube TV, Dish, Sling TV, DIRECTV, Comcast, Optimum and Verizon are expected to offer the game on their ESPN 4K channels. ESPN does not offer 4K programming on its new Unlimited app.

Who Is Expected to Win?
Texas A&M is a 2.5-point favorite over LSU. ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives the Aggies a 51.9 percent chance of winning.

Who Are the Top Players In the Game?
Visiting Texas A&M is led by sophomore QB Marcel Reed who’s thrown for 15 touchdowns and 1,770 yards while LSU is led by senior QB Garrett Nussmeier who’s completing 66.4 percent of his throws.

What Is Upscaled 4K?
The ESPN 4K broadcast will be ‘upscaled’ from 1080p HD.  The upscaled 4K means that the game will be produced in 1080p HD on site and upgraded to 4K for the home transmission. ESPN switched to upscaled 4K a few years ago after previously doing some games in native 4K.
