Tubi to make World Cup game reruns available in 4K
Tubi, the free streaming service that’s under the umbrella of FOX Entertainment, is making reruns of World Cup games available in 4K.
With most 2022 World Cup group stage games featuring kickoff times of 5AM ET, 8AM ET, 11AM ET and 2PM ET, many fans will watch games on-demand. Viewing options galore are available via cable and satellite, as well as live and on-demand games from Peacock.
How Tubi World Cup 4K broadcasts will work
Of course, the best way to watch the FIFA World Cup is to see games live. And to live in the moment.
But if you are planning on watching games on-demand, Tubi is certainly a worthy option.
Reruns of World Cup 2022 matches are available on Tubi 30 minutes after a game ends. Plus the games are available in 4K. The best part of the news is that it’s free to watch games on Tubi.
Not only that, but there will be no advertising during the game action itself. According to a Tubi spokeswoman, “The experience will be similar to watching a live game: ads will appear before the match video starts and between the two halves (instead of half time).”
While Tubi does feature a 24/7 FIFA World Cup channel that brings you highlights and more, the on-demand games will be available separately inside Tubi. Hence, you click and go straight to your game.
The FIFA World Cup Channel features classic matches, highlights and analysis from the upcoming tournament.
Similar to Pluto TV, Tubi features live and on-demand programming. In the example of the FIFA World Cup Channel, the Tubi service includes films and series such as FIFA World Cup 2022: Qatar Prepares, FIFA World Cup Classics, FIFA Women’s World Cup Classics, and Gold Stars – The Story.
Watching live games in 4K
While Tubi does not offer live games in 4K, there are other options. Games from FOX Sports are available in 4K on television. Plus streaming services for cord cutters such as fuboTV are streaming World Cup games in 4K.
