Chile to Broadcast 2026 World Cup in 4K Ultra HD, But Argentina Misses Out

Fans eager to experience the 2026 World Cup in the highest possible quality will find their options limited, with only a select few nations offering 4K Ultra HD broadcasts. The tournament, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will feature matches in stunning detail, but access to this premium viewing experience is geographically restricted. Notably, South America's champion, Argentina, will not be among the countries broadcasting the event in 4K. In contrast, both Chile and Brazil will provide this advanced visual technology, offering resolutions of 3180 x 2160 pixels at 59.94 frames per second. Chileans will be able to watch 54 games in 4K through Chilevisión, accessible on VTR (Channel 710) and Claro (Channel 557). Beyond South America, the United States, Guatemala, and Nicaragua are also set to offer the 4K broadcast. This limited availability is surprising, especially for co-hosts Mexico and Canada, who will reportedly not be able to watch their own matches in 4K on television.
