The 2026 FIFA World Cup is finally here, after a long four years since the tournament in Qatar. Held in the US, the World Cup will be available to stream from a variety of sources, but only a couple of options will let you watch in 4K.

Fox Sports is, once again, in charge of broadcasting the World Cup in the US. This leaves viewers with a few options to catch up on live and finished matches. In reality, little about how it’s being broadcast has changed over the time since the last tournament.

Fox is technically set up to deliver the World Cup in 4K. The caveat may be that local broadcasting and other bottlenecks mean the picture you get in your streaming app of choice may not actually be the high-resolution image your were promised. This happens quite often, but there’s a workaround.
