FuboTV has launched 4K HDR10 support in Beta, becoming the first sports-streaming platform to offer content in ultra-high definition and high dynamic range.
Starting today, main broadcasts of World Cup 2018 matches on FOX and FS1 are available in 4K HDR10 with fuboTV on all Chromecast and Fire TV devices that support the format. fuboTV will also launch 4K HDR10 on Roku and Apple TV in the coming weeks.
To view ultra-high definition and high dynamic range content, subscribers must have a 4K HDR-enabled television, HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 compatible cable and run the fuboTV app on a streaming device that supports the formats. Bandwidth speeds of 30Mbps-40Mbps or higher are recommended. 4K HDR-capable TVs may also need calibration to present the content correctly.
For subscribers without 4K HDR hardware, all Russia 2018 matches are available in 60FPS.
fuboTV is offering one free month for new subscribers who buy a new Roku device by July 8. Separately, the company’s subscription packages are also currently available at promotional rates: fubo (base package) for $34.99 for the first month after a free seven-day trial and fubo Extra for $39.99 for the first month after the free seven-day trial (discounted from $44.99 and $49.99, respectively). New subscribers can also get a free upgrade to the Family Share plan, including a third simultaneous stream (normally $5.99/month).

Wish the Fox Sports 4k app worked on more than just Hisense TVs.
DIRECTV is also broadcasting in 4K. See http://worldsoccertalk.com/2018/06/07/directv-broadcast-world-cup-games-4k-hdr/
I got rid of them cuz they were too expensive and bought my own TiVos so I’m not switching back to DirecTV.
Way to go FUBO!
Another question possibly for another day – Any word on what type of future 4k soccer content Fubo will be rolling out over the course of this next European season? So happy to see a streaming 4k option becoming available.
