How to watch the Super Bowl without cable
There are many options for people who want to watch the game, but don't have a cable TV subscription. For starters, you can pick up NBC over the air with an antenna. All that will cost you is the cost of the antenna and probably a few minutes trying to pick up a signal.
If that sounds like too much of a hassle, the game is available on multiple different streaming platforms including NBC's Peacock, Hulu, YouTube TV, FuboTV, and Sling TV.
While Peacock is free to start, if you want to watch the Super Bowl you're going to have to pay for the premium tier, which is $4.99 per month.
Other than Peacock, Sling TV is the cheapest of these services, starting at $35 a month. They do however offer a free 7-day trial. NBC is only available on Sling's "Blue" plan, though, and some affiliates are not available in certain locations. NBC is also available as part of Hulu's Live TV add-on, which costs $69.99 per month. YouTube TV is typically $64.99 per month, but new users can get their first three months for $54.99 a month. And finally, FuboTV is also $64.99 per month, but offers a free trial.
Can the Super Bowl be streamed?
In addition to the online live TV platforms, there are other places and apps you can stream the game on. Super Bowl LVI will be streamed on the NBC Sports app and website, with a cable login, and on the Yahoo Sports app for free.
