will the super bowl be on youtube tv

Yes. You can watch the Super Bowl on YouTube TV, as long as YouTube TV carries your local NBC station in your area, because NBC is broadcasting Super Bowl LX in 2026.

Will the Super Bowl be on YouTube TV?

For Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026), NBC has the English‑language broadcast rights, and YouTube TV’s base plan includes local NBC affiliates in most U.S. markets. That means if you subscribe to YouTube TV and NBC is available in your ZIP code, you’ll be able to stream the game live through the NBC channel inside the YouTube TV app on TV, mobile, or computer.

A few key points:

  • You need an active YouTube TV subscription (the regular “Base Plan”).
  • Coverage for Super Bowl LX on YouTube TV’s NBC channel is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET.
  • YouTube TV also promotes “Super Bowl Live” and related content in its interface around game time.

What about 4K and extras?

YouTube TV offers a 4K Plus add‑on that can show certain NBC content, including the Super Bowl, in 4K where available. The 4K Plus add‑on is an extra monthly charge on top of the base plan, though there are promotional prices for new users.

You’ll also get:

  • Cloud DVR with the option to record the game and watch later.
  • Support for most major streaming devices and smart TVs (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, many smart TVs, game consoles, etc.).

How to make sure it works in your area

Because local channels vary by region, you should confirm NBC is in your local YouTube TV lineup:

  1. Go to the YouTube TV website (not regular YouTube).
  2. Enter your ZIP code where prompted to view the channel list.
  3. Look for NBC in the lineup; if it’s there, you’re set for the Super Bowl.

If NBC is not carried in your area on YouTube TV, you can still watch via:

  • An over‑the‑air antenna tuned to your local NBC station.
  • Peacock Premium, which streams the NBC Super Bowl broadcast.

Forum‑style chatter: what fans are saying

On streaming and YouTube TV forums, viewers often discuss using YouTube TV for the Super Bowl with features like pause/rewind and DVR, and they confirm that standard YouTube TV broadcast delays apply but that the game is fully watchable through the NBC channel in the app. Many cord‑cutters treat YouTube TV (or similar services like Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream) as their main way to watch big events like the Super Bowl without cable.

TL;DR: If YouTube TV offers NBC in your ZIP code and you have an active subscription, the Super Bowl will be available live on YouTube TV via the NBC channel, with optional 4K via the 4K Plus add‑on.
