It was a practice game involving Arsenal at Highbury Stadium, London—marking the dawn of a new era in sports broadcasting. Though just an experiment at the time, it laid the groundwork for the global spectacle football coverage has become today.

From grainy black-and-white images to high-definition streams watched by millions, football has come a long way.
