The big game is almost here, and we've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch the Super Bowl, including free streaming options. Keep reading to learn all the details on tuning into the Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots showdown (and the Bad Bunny halftime show), no matter where you are in the world.
For the first time since 2022, it's a Kansas City Chiefs-less Super Bowl. Instead, the once down-on-their-luck New England Patriots claimed the AFC throne this season under sophomore quarterback Drake Maye, propelling the team to their first Super Bowl since Tom Brady departed.
The NFC's Seattle Seahawks, with new (veteran) QB Sam Darnold, have made it to their first Super Bowl in over a decade. Their last Super Bowl appearance? A 28-24 loss to none other than the Patriots. It was a particularly devastating loss for the Seahawks, who went into the fourth quarter up by 10. The Patriots managed to score 14 points and shut out any further Seahawks scoring attempts with a memorable last-minute interception at the 1-yard line by Pats cornerback Malcolm Butler.
It's safe to say that both teams are looking to prove something at Super Bowl LX, but only one will walk away from Levi's Stadium victorious. If you're hoping to tune in, you've come to the right place. You can find all of your watch options below.
Where to watch the Super Bowl in the US
Super Bowl LX airs on NBC in the US. There are several ways to live stream the game, but Peacock is our top recommendation. NBC and Peacock Super Bowl coverage will be available in 4K. Peacock is NBC's direct streaming counterpart, and Super Bowl coverage is available through the service's Premium and Premium Plus tiers.
Peacock Premium costs $11 a month and offers ad-supported on-demand content and select live sporting events, like the Super Bowl and the Olympics. The Olympics Opening Ceremony is on February 6, so it's not a bad idea to get the streaming service a couple of days before the Super Bowl. Peacock Premium costs $17 a month and unlocks ad-free content and a 24/7 live stream of your local NBC station.
If you're looking for something with a free trial, a live TV streaming service might be worth considering. You can check out our roundup of the best live TV streaming services, or explore our best overall cable alternative, DirecTV, below.
The month-to-month streaming service DirecTV carries NBC in several packages, including both signature plans and genre packs. The cheapest way to live stream NBC via DirecTV is through the MyNews genre pack, which costs $40 a month and carries around 10 channels. If you're a sports fanatic, then the MySports genre pack might be a better fit. It costs $70 a month and carries 20 key sports channels, in addition to ESPN Unlimited access. NBC is also available in the service's signature plans, which start at $90 a month for an Entertainment subscription. All plans come with a five-day free trial for new customers.

Where to watch the Super Bowl in the UK

They just need to create an account if they don't already have one, and then they're all set to start streaming. UK Coverage will also be available through Sky Sports and the DAZN NFL Game Pass.

How to watch the Super Bowl from anywhere
DAZN's NFL Game Pass will offer comprehensive Super Bowl live streams for most regions outside the US and China. Several countries also typically offer free broadcasts, and we'll keep this page updated as those emerge.
If you're away from the UK or Australia and hoping to access the above free options, you can do so with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that let people alter the virtual location on their electronic devices. This way, their favorite websites and apps work from anywhere. They're especially popular options among those traveling abroad and hoping to access their usual services or upgrade their online security and privacy.
NordVPN is one of the best services on the market, thanks to its fast speeds, extensive server selection, and cybersecurity features. Plus, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so it's no sweat if you find that it's not what you're looking for. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
Note: VPN use is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may constitute a breach of the terms of use for some services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
