The Verge published the news of NBC’s failures, quoting Dan Masonson, an NBC Sports spokeswoman, as stating, “The game will not be in 4K.” You’ll be faking the funk no matter how clever your TV is, even if it’s one of the greatest 4K TVs.
When will the Super Bowl go 4K?
In an era where Disney Plus allows you to view Marvel movies in 4K and Netflix Originals in UHD if you pay extra, it’s strange that the year’s largest TV event is still limited to 1080p.
By the way, the Super Bowls in 2021 and 2020 were also not in 4K. CBS didn’t have 4K ready for Super Bowl LV and blamed Covid-19 (like with everyone else who blamed the continuing epidemic for all of their new year’s resolutions). Fox filmed Super Bowl LIV in 1080p and HDR before upscaled it to 4K, thus anyone who believes they witnessed a Super Bowl in genuine 4K is mistaken.
It’s not like the general public has no reason to expect Super Bowl LVI in 4K. Last year, NBC televised parts of the Tokyo Olympics in 4K, but just for a few events and not on Peacock, NBC Universal’s streaming service, which will also carry Super Bowl 2022.
Super Bowl 2023, also known as Super Bowl LVII, may include a 4K edition of the big game. According to Sports Video Group News, this is because the rights to Super Bowl 2023 will return to Fox (since the big game rotates between it, NBC, and CBS each year), and Fox has started delivering 4K streaming of certain sporting events.
