Classy. Not.
Just saw the 4K listing on Foxtel online TV guide. Isnât the match exclusive to BeIN? Why will it provide a 4K feed to Foxtel 4K channel?
Probably the same reason why ESPN showed 3D content on the old Foxtel 3D channel. Foxtel and BeIN must of come to some arrangement to allow for the match to be shown in 4K, I hope it continues past this weekend and becomes a regular feature on Foxtel 4K channel

It will be. Foxtel and BeIN have formed a new partnership in which BeIN will provide two LaLiga matches per week during the 2018/19 season to Foxtelâs 4K channel (more details in Foxtel 4K thread), starting with Real Madrid v Barcelona this weekend.

That means this yearâs International Champions Cup will be shown live on both BeIN Sports and SBS.
The Sydney FC friendly doesnât have a FTA broadcaster at this stage
Western Sydney Wanderers vs Leeds United friendly will be also live on beIN Sports across connected devices and around the world. Surprised no FTA broadcaster picked up the rights after Channel 7 purchased rights for the two Manchester United friendlies in Perth.
Will be interesting to see whether beIN will produce their own coverage of the match or if theyâll just simply show the world feed
A second tier English side against an Aussie side doesnât exactly scream ratings success

2nd tier yes, but with a fanbase that only the biggest Premier League clubs can top in England. The term is âSleeping Giantâ.

Unfortunately itâs been asleep for quite some time 
and their manager is a nutcase. Too niche for Aussie FTA.
