can i watch the super bowl on amazon prime

You can’t watch this year’s Super Bowl directly on Amazon Prime Video as the main broadcaster, but you can still watch it if you get access to NBC or Peacock through other means.

Quick Scoop

For Super Bowl 2026 (Super Bowl LX):

  • The game is airing on NBC on regular TV.
  • It is streaming live on Peacock , NBC’s own app, not on Amazon Prime Video.
  • You can also watch via live TV streaming services that carry your local NBC station (for example, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling Blue in some areas).
  • Over‑the‑air antenna still works if you can pick up your local NBC channel.

Amazon Prime Video does have NFL games (notably Thursday Night Football and some playoff games), but the Super Bowl itself is still tied to big broadcast networks like NBC under long‑term TV deals, so Prime doesn’t get the full game as a standalone stream this year.

How to watch if you mainly use Prime

If you live in the streaming world and mostly use Prime, these are your realistic paths:

  1. Sign up for Peacock for the game
    • Super Bowl LX is streaming live on Peacock on Feb 8, 2026.
 * You need a paid tier that includes live sports; the cheapest plan no longer includes live sports coverage.

 * Example move: sign up days before, watch the game, then decide whether to keep or cancel.

  1. Use a live TV streaming service app on your Fire TV
    If you watch Prime on a Fire TV Stick or Fire TV:

    • Install a live TV service that carries NBC in your area (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Sling Blue in some markets).
 * Log in on your Fire TV and watch NBC there, switching apps from Prime to that live‑TV app at kickoff.
 * Some of these services offer short free trials, but be careful to cancel if you only want the Super Bowl.
  1. Old‑school: antenna plus your TV’s input switch
    • If your TV has a digital tuner, a basic indoor antenna can pull in NBC for free in many places.
 * You’d just switch from your Fire TV/Prime input to “TV/Antenna” for the game.

None of these options let you just open Prime Video and click on “Super Bowl LX” ; instead, you’re watching on another app or input while still using the same TV setup.

Why it’s not (yet) on Prime

The NFL’s “crown jewel” game is still locked into rotating deals with CBS, Fox, NBC and ABC/ESPN, with each network getting certain Super Bowls under long contracts. Amazon Prime has secured exclusive regular‑season games (Thursday Night Football) and even some playoff games , and sports business writers see it as a strong candidate for a future Super Bowl stream.

But for 2026 specifically , the rights belong to NBC/Peacock , so Amazon Prime can’t show the full game as the main feed.

Mini FAQ

Q: If I have an Amazon Prime subscription, do I automatically get the Super Bowl?
A: No. Prime membership does not unlock the Super Bowl this year; you still need NBC, Peacock, or a live TV service with NBC.

Q: Could Amazon get a Super Bowl in the future?
A: It’s possible. Commentators and industry pieces talk about Amazon as a serious contender for a future Super Bowl stream as the NFL moves more into digital platforms, but nothing for 2026.
