The HD Fox stream will stay capped at 720p/720i, but for the 4K broadcast, they are producing it in Full HD in order to easily upscale the signal to 4K (with native standard HDR). It is easier and very cost-effective for them to directly produce in standard Full HD given much of the production will be done remotely (but still having to deal with a large presence on site), and Fox Sports' and NFL Media's facilities in LA have already 1080p-compliant/UHD-ready facilities. They did already this with most of their World Cup coverage (however the matches were aired in native 4K).
