The FIFA World Cup is underway, so now is a great time to upgrade your TV and make the most of every match. The tournament runs through July 19, which means there's still time to pick up a new big-screen set before the biggest games kick off. As someone who tests TVs year-round, I've found that not every display is equally suited for sports. The best TVs for the World Cup deliver bright, punchy picture quality and come in large screen sizes, giving you a clear, vibrant, and immersive view of all the action.
For a premium option, the Samsung S95H OLED is my top recommendation. Its excellent anti-reflective screen is a huge perk if you're watching daytime matches or hosting parties in a bright living room, and its wide viewing angles help everyone get a great picture, even from the side of the couch. For shoppers who want to spend less, the TCL QM7K QLED is a strong midrange alternative. It lacks Samsung's more advanced anti-glare tech and ultra-wide viewing angles, but it still produces a bright, impactful image โ and it's available in huge 98-inch and 115-inch sizes.
Below, you'll find more details on each model, plus a few buying tips to help you choose the best TV for your World Cup setup. And for information on how to watch every match on your new display, check out our World Cup streaming guide.
