Everything you need to stream Super Bowl LIX in 4K
Why watch the Super Bowl in 4K
UHD 4K resolution is the best picture quality widely available to customers. Watching in 4K allows viewers to see a picture of 3,840 by 2,160 pixels, making for a clear, bright, incredibly detailed picture. Considering how close some of the calls in football can be, it’s clear how important it is to watch sports in the best resolution possible.
Which streamers offer 4K streaming of Fox?
Fox is the only broadcast TV network that regularly provides sporting events in 4K. That means getting a live TV streaming service that carries the channel is a must if you want to stream Super Bowl LIX in 4K.
DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV all carry Fox in at least some markets. However, Hulu + Live TV does not offer streams in 4K, even if the channel itself is broadcasting 4K programming at a given moment.
That means your list of choices for watching Super Bowl LIX in 4K is limited to DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Sling TV, and YouTube TV. Which do The Streamable’s experts recommend most highly? Find out below!

Top pick to stream the Super Bowl in 4K: Sling TV
We love Sling TV for watching Super Bowl LIX in 4K. Sling has offered 4K streams of select content since summer 2024, including NFL games available on Fox. Super Bowl LIX will stream on Sling TV in 4K, at no additional cost to Sling Blue customers.
You can watch Fox with a Sling TV subscription in more than 15 of the biggest Sling TV markets, including Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Gainesville, Houston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tacoma, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
Sling costs $46 per month, but new customers can get 50% off their first month of service, lowering the starting price to only $23 in markets where Sling carries Fox.
Great option to watch the Super Bowl in 4K: DIRECTV STREAM
Like Sling TV, DIRECTV STREAM does not charge extra to watch the Super Bowl in 4K on Fox. It even comes with a five-day free trial, so if you’ve never tried it before you can watch the Big Game free with DIRECTV STREAM.
DIRECTV STREAM plans start at $87 per month after the trial ends, so it can’t beat the base price of Sling TV. But with a free trial and no additional cost to stream in 4K, it’s a great pick to watch the Super Bowl in style.
Start streaming DIRECTV & save up to $30 off your 1st mo. of service! Learn how.
Solid option for sports fans to watch Super Bowl in 4K: Fubo
Fubo does things a little differently than the other streamers on this list. It keeps 4K content in its Elite plan only, so you’ll have to pay the base price of $95 per month — not including the regional sports network fee of up to $16 — to watch the Super Bowl in 4K on Fox.
The good news is, Fubo also offers a free trial of varying length depending on what time of month you subscribe. Fubo’s Elite plan includes the ability to watch more than 250 channels, including your area’s regional sports network, national channels like ESPN and NFL Network, and a ton of other sports options.
Last pick to watch the Super Bowl in 4K: YouTube TV
YouTube TV carries Fox in its base channel package starting at $83 per month. However, the 4K Plus add-on that will unlock UHD streaming of the Super Bowl on YouTube TV adds another $10 per month to your bill. That means the total price of streaming Super Bowl LIX on YouTube TV runs up to $93 per month, and unlike Fubo it doesn’t offer a wide range of regional sports networks for that price.
New customers can save $15 per month for 5 months.
Will Tubi stream the Super Bowl in 4K for free?
Yes! For the first time, the free streaming service Tubi will offer the Super Bowl live in 4K this year. For a price of $0, you can stream the Big Game in UHD 4K so long as you have a compatible streaming device and TV via Tubi.
