Sports fans will be able to watch football in 3D in pubs and living rooms before the end of the year, Sky television bosses said today.
The broadcaster has already begun testing its technology by filming matches in 3D at stadiums across the country.
It today promised that football will form a 'major' part of its 3D TV channel content.
In the thick of it: Sky Sports has promised that 3D football will be in pubs and living rooms before the end of the year
Darren Long, Sky Sports' director of operations, said: 'We?ve spent over 18 months recording 3D content, and sport works very well.
'Sport is all about emotion, and seeing it in 3D adds to the experience.'
The service, which will require individuals and pubs to buy a 3D TV and wear 3D glasses, will work using a Sky HD set-top box.
Sky conducted its biggest test so far of 3D football when Arsenal played Bolton at the Emirates Stadium last night. It has also recorded Champions League games in 3D, as well as boxing, golf, tennis, rugby and cricket.
Mr Long added: 'It?s been amazing showing people 3D footage as we tested, and seeing the amazed expression on even the most cynical person?s face. We now believe the time is right for this technology to move into the living room.'
All the major TV makers plan to launch 3D models this year, with LG?s set to be the first one out, in April.
Viewers will be able to watch 3D Blu-ray discs and Sony is also developing 3D games for its PlayStation 3. Other broadcasters are also experimenting with 3D, and the BBC last year broadcast a Six Nations rugby match in 3D to an invited audience.
This year, O2 plans to show England?s home rugby games in 3D at 40 cinemas across the country, making the match against Wales at Twickenham on 6 February the first sporting event to be broadcast live to the public in 3D.
Fifa world football chiefs and Sony will this year record 25 World Cup games in 3D, and they could be broadcast to locations in London.
The BBC has said part of its coverage of the 2012 Games will also be in 3D as well as being available on mobile phones.
It is in talks with phone manufactures and networks to broadcast action directly to handsets.
'It didn?t catch on for Beijing but it is our big idea for London,' said Roger Mosey, the BBC?s director of London 2012.
The BBC also has the backing of London Mayor Boris Johnson for the plans.
