The German arm of Sky is first to announce live 4K Ultra HD coverage of the FIFA World Cup.

The German broadcaster has secured exclusive rights to broadcast 25 matches of the 2018 FIFA Football World Cup in Ultra HD, according to reports by Broadband TV News.

The agreement with SportA - the sports agency of German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF - means the pay-TV broadcaster can show a match live in 4K on every tournament day. ARD and ZDF remain rights-holders to all 64 games in HD and SD.

So now we're sitting here with our fingers crossed, waiting for UK Sky's announcement...
