The Super Bowl will be available in 4k with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for the first time, but only through Comcast customers with the Xfinity Stream app. Customers also need to have a supporting sound system and Dolby Vision HDR TV to enjoy all video/audio specs.
The 4k with Dolby Vision isn’t a first though, as FOX delivered the 2023 Super Bowl with both video formats. The addition of Atmos, however, marks a milestone in the network’s service.
The 2025 Super Bowl will also be streaming in 4k on Tubi (it’s free, but viewers must be signed in).
The 59th annual Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles takes place on February 9, 2025 at 6:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM PT. The event takes place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The event will be broadcast on Fox and Telemundo (Spanish).

Plus, we’re delivering it as fast as possible over our state-of-the-art network so customers can feel like they’re witnessing every exciting moment at the same time as the fans in the Superdome,” said Vito Forlenza, Vice President, Sports Entertainment, Comcast.
“Dolby and Comcast share a long history of delivering unparalleled, first-of-their kind experiences to fans, and today marks another milestone in our journey to transform the future of live sports,” said Jason Power, Vice President, AV Ecosystem, Dolby Laboratories. “Together, we continue to raise the bar by offering Xfinity customers an immersive experience that brings the sights and sounds of the game to life like never before.”
Adding to Comcast’s list of firsts, Xfinity customers can also enjoy this unmatched viewing experience in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos through the simplicity of the Xfinity Stream app, which is available on compatible Dolby-enabled streaming devices and TVs.
First launched for The Paris Olympics 2024, Enhanced 4K is the new quality standard to live sports delivered in 4K on X1 and leverages Comcast’s superior network technology to deliver the best-possible 4K video, ultra-low latency, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
