What is BT Sport Ultimate?

BT Sport Ultimate is a new channel providing the very best viewing experience available, whatever platform you are watching on.

Broadcast technology is constantly evolving and BT Sport is at the forefront of innovation.

With images delivered at 50 frames per second, fast-moving action appears in pin-sharp detail, meaning sport is viewed in perfect clarity.

BT Sport Ultimate delivers pictures and sound in ultra-high definition (UHD), high dynamic range (HDR) and - exclusively via BT TV - Dolby Atmos sound, depending on which platform viewers are using.

Recognising the increasing use of mobiles to watch live sport, HDR transforms the sports viewing experience on mobile devices, maximising the colour and definition capabilities of smartphones and tablets.
