The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is set to kick off this week! Fans of the beautiful game are rejoicing all over the world, and setting up watch parties to see their women’s national teams in action in one of the most-watched sporting events shown on TV.
Many sports fans are likely wondering whether Women’s World Cup matches will be shown in 4K this year. After all, a 4K screen resolution is one of the best ways to watch live sports; the 3,840 by 2,160-pixel screen resolution ensures fans see the action as clearly as possible, and won’t miss it when a player inches one toe a little too far out of bounds.
The good news is that this year’s World Cup is being broadcast by Fox and FS1, which means games will be available to stream in 4K! Fox upgrades its 1080p broadcasts to full 4K HDR for major sporting events, and all 64 games of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be available at this resolution.
How to Watch 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Games in 4K on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM carries Fox and FS1 in all of its packages, though some customers may be affected by the company's carriage dispute with Nexstar and see their local Fox channel blacked out. DIRECTV STREAM offers 4K channels to users with its Gemini streaming device, as well as to users of most 4K-enabled Roku devices.
Users will want to check 4K Ultra channels 105 and 106 to see live sports. Channel 105 will carry the July 20 match between Nigeria and Canada, the July 26 contest between the USWNT and the Netherlands, and the July 30 tilt between Colombia and Germany in 4K.
