Hisense Teams With Fox Sports for All-Access World Cup on Smart TVs
Leading up to and during this summer's World Cup, Hisense will offer consumers the Fox Sports GO: 2018 FIFA World Cup Edition app, which will be available exclusively on selected Hisense Smart TV models and will give consumers access to Fox Sports' 2018 FIFA World Cup content. The app will be preloaded directly onto select Hisense Smart TVs starting in the spring, serving as a hub for this content.
Hisense U7 ULED TV, the World Cup Special Edition TV, and Hisense U9 ULED TV, the World Cup Limited Edition TV were introduced at the company's CES press conference.
This summer, the best seat for experiencing the 2018 FIFA World Cup will be in your own living room, gathered around a new Hisense TV with friends and family, says Mark Viken, VP, marketing, Hisense USA. The Fox Sports GO: 2018 FIFA World Cup Edition app will bring incredible soccer moments to life with multiple match feeds and viewing angles, a behind-the-scenes look at the development of future legends of the game, and, most important, amazing picture quality.
The Hisense-exclusive Fox Sports GO: 2018 FIFA World Cup Edition app will allow Hisense consumers to experience multiple Fox Sports digital feeds, including the ability to choose from a variety of live viewing angles during games, such as feeds that focus on specific teams or aerial views. The app will feature live games and near-real-time highlights from 37 customizable camera angles and original soccer content - all in 4K
As part of this innovative partnership, Hisense will also be recognized as an associate sponsor of PHENOMS, Fox's new documentary series that chronicles the journey of the next generation of hopeful World Cup stars on their quests to represent their countries. Launching ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the series will offer a fascinating portrait of 60 burgeoning stars.
We are thrilled to work with an official FIFA partner like Hisense to help them develop an innovative platform that leverages the excitement of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, says Danielle Maged, EVP, global solutions, Fox Networks Group. Our multi-pronged, collaborative approach with Hisense showcases our appetite and ability to build smart, custom programs with our brand partners.
The app's live-viewing features will debut on June 14, when Russia hosts Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, PHENOMS will premiere on Fox on May 25 and become available on the app and other Fox platforms immediately following the broadcast.
Although fans in the U.S. will have access to the Fox Sports GO: 2018 FIFA World Cup Edition, the Hisense soccer experience will be a global affair, offering a dynamic content hub for World Cup content in selected regions across the world.
In addition to the Fox Sports announcement, Hisense is launching its U7 ULED TV, the World Cup Special Edition TV, and U9 ULED TV, the World Cup Limited Edition TV, at CES. Hisense will be actively integrating its display technology and product directly into the tournament.
Besides offering exclusive World Cup content on Hisense TV products, the company will develop its 2018 FIFA World Cup creative campaigns for its overseas markets and deliver fan activations in Russia with Lagard re Sports. Hisense will launch an integrated marketing-communications campaign with premium football talents featured in TVCs, point-of-sales activities, digital content, and social media-engagement.
