If you want to follow the football World Cup in Qatar in 4K, you have several options. (Source: Krivosheevv/depositphotos.com)
- The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be broadcast completely in UHD in Germany by pay-TV provider MagentaTV.
- On the German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF, the games can be viewed in HD at most.
- In Austria, World Cup games can be viewed in UHD at no additional cost in ORF-TVthek, in Great Britain via the BBC iPlayer app.
The ball is now rolling at the 2022 Winter World Cup in Qatar – and for the first time the World Cup in Germany can be seen in 4K (UHD quality). In contrast to other European countries, however, it is not the public broadcasters that ensure reception in the highest resolution, only the pay-TV provider MagentaTV.
Not only is the Telekom entertainment service the only provider where all games of the 2022 World Cup can be seen live – the pay-TV service provider has also created several UHD channels for the World Cup, on which you can watch the games in highest quality can be tracked.
However, this only works with the Telekom receivers, which are also available free of charge for spontaneous users who opt for a monthly terminable MagentaTV offer at a special World Cup price of 10 euros per month.

It’s easier in other European countries: Both the British BBC and the Austrian public broadcaster ORF are showing games from the 2022 World Cup in UHD via their online media library, while the German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF are not yet in 4K -ages have arrived.
Public broadcasters show World Cup in UHD – but not in Germany
In order to receive UHD streams of the World Cup via the BBC iPlayer app or the ORF TVthek, a little VPN tinkering is necessary – and not all VPN providers allow geoblocking to be circumvented without any problems.
Of course, if you live in the catchment area of the BBC in Great Britain or on Austrian territory, you hardly have to make an effort. The ORF offer should also be freely accessible in some German border regions with Austria in Bavaria.
