Champions league in hdr on orange tv: what's the holdup?

Despite the recent launch of Champions League HDR channels on Movistar Plus+, Orange TV subscribers are still in the dark about when they'll gain access to these high-quality broadcasts.

Orange's silence sparks frustration

While Movistar has been broadcasting the UEFA Champions League in stunning HDR (High Dynamic Range) since its inception, Orange TV fans have been eagerly awaiting a similar upgrade. The situation isn't entirely new, as a similar question arose ahead of the 2025-2026 season when Orange initially failed to confirm the integration of HDR channels for LaLiga EA Sports.

However, Orange eventually came through, launching LaLiga HDR for M+ and LaLiga 2 HDR for M+ a few days after the channels premiered on Movistar. This has led many to speculate that Orange might follow a similar pattern this time around.

When can we expect hdr champions league on orange tv?

Unfortunately, Orange remains tight-lipped on the matter, with the company's customer support simply stating that there's no confirmation at this time, but they'll keep users informed through their usual channels.

Given Orange's past actions, it's likely that the wait won't be as long as initially feared. As the Champions League progresses and reaches its quarterfinal stage, which is when the HDR format kicks in, Orange may choose to follow suit with Movistar and add the new channels to their lineup.

For now, Orange TV subscribers will have to remain patient and keep an eye on the company's announcements for any updates on the HDR Champions League front.
