FIFA fever couldn't be happening at a better time if you're shopping for a new, 85-inch TV. Right now, brands are rolling out their latest lineups, which means nearly all of the best 85-inch TVs from 2025 are heavily discounted.Here's the kicker: Not every 85-inch TV is worth buying, which is why I've narrowed it to my top five favorite picks. I've spent a lot of time with these TVs (and we've reviewed every model), so I can confidently say that they're reliable for sports. If you're holding watch parties during the biggest sporting event in the world, these are the big-screen TVs to consider across every budget.1. Hisense U65QF

(Image credit: Hisense)The most affordable 85-inch TV on this list of picks is the U65QF, a Hisense TV that puts value above all else. If you’re looking to spend as little as possible on an 85-inch screen without scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel, the U65QF is the TV I recommend. In fact, anything cheaper than this at the 85-inch size point might not be worth the savings.What sets the U65QF apart from most of those bottom-of-the-barrel options is its Mini-LED backlighting. Yes, this particular array of Mini-LEDs isn’t quite as sophisticated as the hardware you’ll find on higher-end Mini-LED TVs, but as far as features go, it’s not exactly easy to find Mini-LEDs in this price range.The U65QF puts its display to good use, too. According to our test results (which you can check out in our Hisense U65QF review), this is the brightest TV in its class. No other entry-level Mini-LED TV we’ve tested in the last year comes close.This makes it a perfect pairing for footy fans with a sun-soaked living space. If you’re entertaining a daytime crowd and need a screen that can hold up, the U65QF is a better choice than just about every 85-inch TV at (or near) its price point.It’s worth noting that the U65QF’s streaming features are built around the Fire TV smart platform. Fire TV isn’t my top streaming platform, but it still supports YouTube TV, Fubo and Tubi, which should make streaming the World Cup games relatively easy. Or at this price, you could get one of the best streaming devices instead.2. TCL QM6K
