This encounter, broadcast on Canal+SPORT, is also available via Canal+ SPORT UHD and the Canal 4K Evènement channel (Channel 18).

The first such games are: Manchester United vs Arsenal on September 30th – and  Newcastle vs Manchester United on October 6th.

In addition, for fans of rugby, from the first game on September 20th up until November 2nd , the TF1 4K service, which is offered via Canal 4K Evènement, will show the entire Rugby World Cup in Ultra HD.

The Canal+ UHD offer is available with the new Canal+ 4K Ultra UHD set-top box (receivable via satellite or Internet), the Orange fibre UHD, the Apple TV 4K, or a Samsung smart TV.
