Super Bowl LX is coming to Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, February 8, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks — and you have a lot of ways to watch, whether you’ve got cable, a smart TV, or just your phone.
When, where, who
- Date: Sunday, February 8, 2026.
- Kickoff: Around 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT); most TV listings will block off coverage from late afternoon through the night.
- Stadium: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California.
- Matchup: New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks, a rematch of that infamous Malcolm Butler goal-line interception in Super Bowl XLIX.
In the U.S., the national TV home of Super Bowl LX is NBC, with Mike Tirico on play‑by‑play, Cris Collinsworth in the booth and Kaylee Hartung and Melissa Stark on the sidelines.
How to watch in the U.S. (TV & streaming)
Traditional TV
- National broadcast: NBC will carry Super Bowl LX nationwide over the air and via cable/satellite providers.
- Spanish-language TV: Telemundo is also scheduled to broadcast the game in Spanish in the U.S.
If you have a basic cable or satellite package that includes your local NBC affiliate, you’re already covered — just tune to NBC at kickoff.
Free over-the-air with an antenna
If you’re a cord-cutter but within range of an NBC station, a simple digital antenna is the easiest “set it and forget it” option. Most NBC affiliates will carry the game in HD for free, no subscription required; you just need an ATSC-compatible TV or tuner and a decent line of sight to the transmitter.
Streaming options in the U.S.
You’ve got two main categories here: direct NBC streams and live TV “skinny bundles.”
1. Direct/official streams
- Peacock: NBC’s own streaming service will show Super Bowl LX live; it’s the most straightforward option if you don’t care about a full channel lineup.
- NFL+: The NFL’s own subscription service will stream the game, but live games on NFL+ are limited to phones and tablets; you can’t natively watch the live Super Bowl feed on a TV via casting.
2. Live TV streaming bundles (for cord-cutters who want NBC plus other channels)
These services carry NBC in most U.S. markets and will also have Super Bowl LX as part of your regular subscription:
- YouTube TV – includes NBC, cloud DVR, and a broad sports lineup.
- Hulu + Live TV – bundles NBC with Hulu’s library, plus Disney+ and ESPN+ in current packages.
- DirecTV Stream – more traditional channel lineup and interface with NBC in covered markets.
- Fubo – sports-focused, with NBC and regional sports networks in many areas.
- Sling TV (Blue plan) – cheaper, but NBC is only available in select major cities; you must check your ZIP code to confirm.
If you’re signing up just for the game, look for free trials (where still offered) and note that you may need to start the trial a day or two before kickoff to avoid last-minute verification headaches.
Mobile-only viewers
If you plan to watch entirely on your phone or tablet and don’t care about the big screen, NFL+ is often the cheapest legit path into the live broadcast.
- NFL+ offers live local and primetime games, including the Super Bowl, but again, live games are restricted to mobile devices; TV casting is blocked.
How to watch outside the U.S.
The NFL has carved up international rights, so your experience will depend heavily on where you are. Here are the key regions based on current broadcast plans.
Canada
In Canada, you have a few strong options:
- DAZN: Streams every NFL game, including Super Bowl LX, as part of its NFL Game Pass package; available on smart TVs, mobile, and consoles.
- TSN and CTV: Traditional broadcasters carrying the game on TV and via their respective apps for subscribers.
If you’re a Canadian traveling abroad on game day, you can typically log into your DAZN or Canadian broadcaster app using a VPN to “go home” virtually, subject to those services’ terms of use.
United Kingdom & Ireland
In the U.K. and Ireland, Super Bowl LX coverage is expected across:
- Sky Sports NFL (and related Sky channels) for full TV coverage.
- DAZN’s international service, which holds streaming rights in multiple European markets.
- Free-to-air partners such as Channel 5 or the BBC often carry the Super Bowl; check listings closer to kickoff as details firm up.
Australia
Australian fans benefit from a strong free option:
- 7plus: Australia’s 7plus platform is set to stream the Super Bowl live at no cost, alongside coverage on the Seven network.
- DAZN is also available in Australia if you prefer a dedicated NFL experience.
Other international markets
Many regions (Europe, parts of Latin America, and Asia) use a mix of DAZN, local sports channels, and NFL Game Pass branding to carry the Super Bowl.
The safest play is to:
- Search for “NFL Super Bowl broadcaster” plus your country, or
- Check DAZN’s country list and pricing, since it’s the default partner in several jurisdictions.
If you’re traveling, a reputable VPN plus your home-country subscription is often the simplest legal way to keep watching, but you should always check the streaming service’s policies.
Devices, picture quality, and practical tips
What you can watch on
Most major services carrying Super Bowl LX — Peacock, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DAZN, and more — support a broad mix of devices: smart TVs (LG, Samsung, etc.), streaming sticks (Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast), game consoles, phones, tablets, and web browsers.
Peacock specifically lists support for smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and gaming consoles, among others; if your device runs a relatively recent app store, you’re likely covered.
Picture and audio quality
- NBC’s linear broadcast will be in HD, and some markets using newer ATSC 3.0 over‑the‑air tech will offer improved HDR and audio for antenna viewers.
- Peacock plans to stream NBC’s Super Bowl feed live, and supports up to HD or better, depending on your plan and device.
- DAZN’s higher tiers in some countries offer 4K/HDR and enhanced audio, particularly via the “Ultimate” plan for NFL Game Pass content.
For the best experience, plug your TV or streaming box into your router via Ethernet if possible, or make sure your Wi-Fi signal is strong near the TV to avoid compression drops or buffering when halftime hits and everyone starts streaming at once.
Cost-conscious strategies
If you’re trying not to blow your Super Bowl budget on subscriptions:
- Use a digital antenna to get NBC free over the air in the U.S. if you’re in range.
- In the U.S., consider a single month of Peacock Premium instead of a full live TV bundle if the Super Bowl is the only thing you care about.
- Time for a free trial for YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Fubo so it covers Super Bowl weekend, then cancel if you don’t want to keep it.
- On mobile-only, NFL+ is typically cheaper than most live TV services, with the tradeoff that you’re watching on a smaller screen.
What to expect beyond the game
Super Bowl Sunday is as much a TV event as a football game. NBC’s pregame coverage will start hours before kickoff, with on‑site shows, features on Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye, and the Seahawks’ road back to the big game.
Peacock and NBC’s digital platforms will also carry shoulder programming: Opening Night coverage, NFL Honors in the days leading up to the game, and extended postgame shows once the Lombardi Trophy is handed out.
From there, it’s the full package: national anthem, halftime show, and the kind of ad breaks that turn casual viewers into live‑tweeting critics for four quarters.
