Subscribers to Orange TV Futbol and Orange TV Bares – the operator’s hospitality offering – will get all the FC Barcelona and Real Madrid games of the regular season, including El Clásico, in 4K. The content will be available for fibre-based IPTV customers.

“In this way, we deliver the most demanded sports content in an ideal resolution to our fibre clients, thanks to the features of our new set-top box,” said the French operator.

The move mirrors what was announced by Vodafone TV two weeks ago. The British telco is adding value to its sports package through 4K and Formula One and Moto GP content instead of trying to compete in price with Orange’s €1 La Liga package.
