Looking to upgrade ahead of the World Cup? These are my 5 favorite 75-inch TV deals right now
We're days away from the official kickoff of the biggest event in sports, and unsurprisingly, I keep finding myself fielding questions from folks fixing to size up their TV screen ahead of the tournament.
Fortunately, for those looking to maximize savings on a big-screen TV, the motivating factor of the World Cup couldn't have come at a better time. Around this time of the year, brands are pushing their newest models, forcing retailers like Amazon and Best Buy to clear stock. As a result, some of the best 75-inch TVs from last year are approaching their lowest price to date.
Despite the influx of new models, my expert recommendation is to grab a great deal on a set from 2025 and put the savings towards other World Cup-related expenses. (Watch party refreshments, maybe?)

My World Cup 75-Inch TV Picks
1. Roku Plus Series
The 75-inch Roku Plus Series is just $699, and that's about as low as I'd go for a 75-inch TV. Frankly, it's not easy to find a 75-inch TV worth considering in this price range. The Roku Plus Series, thankfully, is worth checking out if your number-one priority is saving money on a big-screen, World Cup-ready TV.
Unlike bottom-of-the-barrel, entry-level TVs with edge-lit displays, the Plus Series features Mini-LED backlighting with local dimming for improved contrast. Trust me: This is a critical feature to have at this price point. Its modest array of Mini-LEDs won't be blasting you or any of your football-watching friends with high-level brightness, but it should get the job done in most rooms that aren't completely sun-soaked.
The best thing about the Plus Series, however, is its built-in Roku software. I use a Roku device as a daily driver on account of its simple interface and robust app support, and the Roku Plus Series puts the entire experience into the TV itself — no external device required. It'll provide a consistently easy-to-use backdrop for streaming the World Cup.
2. TCL QM6K
If you're looking for a 75-inch screen with a little more oomph than the Roku Plus Series, I recommend the 75-inch TCL QM6K, an entry-level Mini-LED TV that we recently awarded a four-star rating.
You can check out our QM6K review for the full story, but here's what you need to know: This is a steady, dependable TV for just about everything, including sports. It's bright enough for daytime viewing and its backlight control is among the best in its class.
The QM6K leverages Google TV, which is my second-favorite streaming platform after Roku. Google TV's robust app support and snappy interface will help you keep track of the games throughout the tournament.
3. Hisense U75QG
This is the TV to consider if both the Roku Plus Series and the TCL QM6K aren't bright enough for your living room. The 75-inch Hisense U75QG isn't just a bright TV, it's an eye-catching one. Its punchy, well-tuned picture is sure to impress anyone at your World Cup watch party.
You'll spend more on the U75QG than you will if you opt for one of the entry-level models on this list, but that money will be spent on a screen that's bright enough to shine in a sun-soaked living room.
Like the previously mentioned QM6K, the U75QG leverages Google TV. You'll be happy you have it if you don't already own a dedicated streaming device.
4. TCL QM8L
The only 2026 model on this list, the TCL QM8L, just got hit with a whopping $1,000 discount just in time for the World Cup. This TV is brighter and more colorful than the aforementioned Hisense U75QG, and if you're willing to splash out a bit on this TV, you're in for a good tournament.
The QM8L is one of the first Super Quantum Dot (SQD) TVs from TCL, and these reformulated quantum dots will have the green grass of the pitch looking really, really green.
Make no mistake: I still think that most folks will be better off saving a ton of money on a TV from last year. But if you've got your heart set on buying a 2026, 75-inch TV, this $1,000 discount on the QM8L ought to be at the top of your list of candidates.
5. LG C5
The 77-inch LG C5 is a luxury purchase, but one that'll pay off for years to come, regardless of whether you're watching sports, movies or TV shows.
It's not the brightest set on this list, but because it's an OLED TV, the C5's contrast is off the charts. Every single pixel in its screen is self-illuminating, so the C5 can display perfect black levels with no light bloom whatsoever.
If you have a light-controlled living room or dedicated home theater space, the C5 is my pick for the most impressive-looking TV on this list. It'll serve you well for the World Cup, but it's also a phenomenal way to watch everything else, too.
