We're days away from the official kickoff of the biggest event in sports, and unsurprisingly, I keep finding myself fielding questions from folks fixing to size up their TV screen ahead of the tournament.Fortunately, for those looking to maximize savings on a big-screen TV, the motivating factor of the World Cup couldn't have come at a better time. Around this time of the year, brands are pushing their newest models, forcing retailers like Amazon and Best Buy to clear stock. As a result, some of the best 75-inch TVs from last year are approaching their lowest price to date.Despite the influx of new models, my expert recommendation is to grab a great deal on a set from 2025 and put the savings towards other World Cup-related expenses.

Roku Plus Series

(Image credit: Roku)The 75-inch Roku Plus Series is just $699, and that's about as low as I'd go for a 75-inch TV. Frankly, it's not easy to find a 75-inch TV worth considering in this price range. The Roku Plus Series, thankfully, is worth checking out if your number-one priority is saving money on a big-screen, World Cup-ready TV.Unlike bottom-of-the-barrel, entry-level TVs with edge-lit displays, the Plus Series features Mini-LED backlighting with local dimming for improved contrast. Trust me: This is a critical feature to have at this price point. Its modest array of Mini-LEDs won't be blasting you or any of your football-watching friends with high-level brightness, but it should get the job done in most rooms that aren't completely sun-soaked.The best thing about the Plus Series, however, is its built-in Roku software. I use a Roku device as a daily driver on account of its simple interface and robust app support, and the Roku Plus Series puts the entire experience into the TV itself — no external device required. It'll provide a consistently easy-to-use backdrop for streaming the World Cup.2. TCL QM6K
