No, you can’t watch the 2026 Super Bowl on Paramount+; this year’s game is airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock (and other live TV streamers that carry NBC), not on CBS, so it won’t be on Paramount+.

Can you watch the Super Bowl on Paramount?

Quick Scoop

If your main question is “can you watch the Super Bowl on Paramount?” , the answer for the 2026 game is no , because:

  • The 2026 Super Bowl broadcast rights are with NBC, not CBS.
  • Paramount+ is tied to CBS NFL coverage (NFL on CBS, AFC Championship, some playoff games), and it only streams games that air on CBS.
  • NBC is streaming the Super Bowl through Peacock and via NBC-affiliated traditional TV or cable, plus live TV services that include NBC.

So even if you have Paramount+, that alone will not get you the 2026 Super Bowl.

Why it’s not on Paramount+ this year

Think of each Super Bowl as “belonging” to one big network per year.

  • 2026 Super Bowl:
    • TV channel: NBC.
* Streaming: **Peacock** , and live TV streamers that carry NBC (DirecTV Stream, etc.).
  • Paramount+ only streams NFL games that CBS owns the rights to, such as regular-season CBS games and the AFC Championship Game when it’s on CBS.

Because CBS is not the Super Bowl broadcaster this season, Paramount+ doesn’t have the rights to show the game.

Where you can watch instead

To actually see the Super Bowl in 2026, your realistic paths are:

  1. Free over-the-air NBC
    • If you’re in range of an NBC station, an antenna into your TV will get you the game in HD for free.
  1. NBC via cable or satellite
    • Any standard package that includes NBC will carry the game; just tune to your local NBC channel.
  1. Peacock
    • NBC’s official streaming option for the 2026 Super Bowl is Peacock.
 * You’ll need a paid Peacock plan that includes live NBC sports; then you can stream on smart TVs, phones, tablets, and more.
  1. Live TV streaming services
    • Services that carry NBC in your area (like DirecTV’s streaming product and others) will also have the game; they typically list NBC as part of their local channels.

What Paramount+ does get you for football

Even though it won’t have this Super Bowl, Paramount+ is still useful for NFL fans:

  • It streams NFL on CBS games (your local CBS Sunday game) during the regular season.
  • It carries CBS-playoff games , including the 2026 AFC Championship Game on CBS.
  • You can watch on many devices: smart TVs, phones, tablets, and streaming sticks, as long as you’re subscribed.

So, it’s great for AFC-heavy Sundays and CBS playoff matchups, just not for the 2026 Super Bowl.

TL;DR

  • Can you watch the Super Bowl on Paramount+?
    • For the 2026 Super Bowl: No. It’s on NBC and Peacock, not CBS, so Paramount+ doesn’t have it.
  • What to use instead:
    • NBC (antenna, cable, or satellite), Peacock, or a live TV streaming service that includes NBC in your area.
