A recent study by German magazine *c’t* investigated the transmission speed of various broadcasting methods for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, focusing on minimizing delays in viewing goals, particularly during Germany’s matches. The research aimed to determine whether television or streaming services offer the quickest access to live action. The magazine’s measurements revealed variations in transmission speeds between different platforms. This is particularly relevant as fans dislike experiencing spoilers from others before seeing key moments themselves. The study provides data for viewers seeking the most immediate viewing experience. The findings will likely be of interest to German football fans eager to avoid delayed broadcasts.
