The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events. This year's game is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, and will feature the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots, with Bad Bunny performing at halftime.
It is also among the most-watched events; in fact, last year's game drew an audience of over 127 million, making it the most-watched TV event in history.
Whether you're a fan of the sport or just interested in the entertaining commercials, we'll show you how to stream it for less.

Where can I stream the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl airs on NBC this Sunday at 6:30 EST. As such, there are a variety of ways to stream the event live for less.
One smart option is to have a Peacock membership. Peacock subscribers will have access to the game live, as well as live Winter Olympics coverage, making it a great time for sports fans to try the app.
To see either event, you'll need a Premium membership, costing $10.99 per month since the basic option doesn't include live sports. You can sign up for the service here:
Another way to try Peacock is if you're a Walmart+ member. Walmart+ members receive a free Peacock Premium membership or Paramount Plus Essentials plan as part of the service.
The membership costs $98 annually. It also includes free shipping on thousands of Walmart items, fuel discounts and more.
How to stream the Super Bowl from anywhere
The live Super Bowl broadcast isn't available in every country. However, with a virtual private network, you can stream the Super Bowl no matter where you are.
One option is NordVPN, which has received strong reviews from Tom's Guide for connection speed and security.
Haven't used a VPN before? It's easy to set up:
- Find a VPN you like, then follow the sign-up prompts.
- Once you have an account, choose the region where you want to watch a broadcast. If you live in the U.K. and want to stream the Super Bowl, choose a server based in the United States. And you're good to go!
Use free trials to stream the Super Bowl
Many streaming services offer a free trial to let you try their platform and see if it's to your liking. YouTube TV is among the best streaming platforms for sports fans.
I have used it for the past three years and never experienced an issue viewing NFL games. Best of all, if you're new, you can try the service for free for 21 days, giving you a free way to stream the Super Bowl.
Another option is Hulu + Live TV. Similar to YouTube TV, Hulu's live TV platform offers local channels like NBC, so you can stream the Super Bowl for free.
And if you're new, you can try it free for three days:
How to stream the Super Bowl for less
The Super Bowl is this Sunday. If you're looking to stream it for less, we provided several options. Comparing trial offers, pricing and availability ahead of kickoff can help you avoid last-minute sign-ups or unexpected costs.
Many live-streaming services offer free trials, giving you a way to stream the game for free. If you're overseas, a VPN may help you access the streaming services you typically use at home to watch what is expected to be one of the most-watched televised events of the year.
