Fox today (January 31, 2026) will begin its three-day upscale 4K coverage of the 2026 Westminster Dog Show from the Jacob Javits Convention Center and Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

The event will feature more than 3,000 dogs and 200 breeds competing for the covered Best in Show award.

The 4K broadcasts will begin on Saturday (January 31, 2026) at 4:30 p.m. ET with the Masters Agility Championship.

Then, on Monday (February 2, 2026), Fox returns for day two with the Best of Breeds competition in upscaled 4K at 1 p.m. ET. At 7 p.m. ET on Monday, the network picks up the action with more competitions.

On Tuesday, the final day of the show, Fox will go upscaled 4K at 1 p.m. ET for day two of the Best of Breeds competition and then it wraps with the Best of Show event at 7 p.m. ET.

How Can You Watch Fox’s 4K Broadcasts?
Fox 4K events can be seen in the format on the Fox One app by logging in with your TV Everywhere user name and password from your pay TV provider. (You can also watch the game in 4K 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, Spectrum TV (Xumo, Apple TV 4K, Roku 4K devices only) and FuboTV. (In FuboTV markets where the Fox affiliate is provided with your programming package.) Check your on-screen guide for more details.

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.
