You can watch the Super Bowl in several ways this year, even without cable.

Quick Scoop: Where to Watch

Main ways to watch in the U.S.

  • Free over-the-air TV
    • Use an antenna to get your local NBC station and watch the full game live.
  • Cable or satellite
    • If you already have pay TV, just tune to NBC (and Telemundo if you want Spanish commentary).
  • Streaming services (live TV bundles)
    • Services that carry NBC, like DirecTV Stream and Hulu + Live TV , will stream the game live on their NBC feed.
* Note: **Fubo** is currently in a dispute with NBC in the U.S., so some NBC stations may not be available there right now.
  • Official streaming apps
    • Peacock will stream the entire Super Bowl live; you’ll need a subscription and a decent internet connection.
* **NFL+** also offers the game, but viewing is **limited to mobile devices** (phone/tablet) for subscribers.

If you don’t have cable at all

  • Get a cheap HD antenna for local NBC; this is often the easiest, most reliable option.
  • Or start a short-term subscription to:
    • Peacock (most straightforward app-only option).
* A live TV streaming bundle (DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV) that includes NBC.

Watching outside the U.S. (example options)

  • In some countries, big free-to-air channels and their streaming services show the game:
    • U.K.: Super Bowl 2026 will be free on Channel 5 and also available via Channel 5’s streaming service and the BBC.
* **Australia:** The **Seven Network** (Seven, 7mate, and 7plus) will show the game for free.

Different regions may also carry the game on sports networks (like DAZN or similar services), so it’s worth checking local listings or your regional sports streamer.

TL;DR:
If you want the simplest route, use an antenna to watch NBC , or stream through Peacock ; if you already pay for a live TV streaming service with NBC, just open their app and hit the NBC channel at kickoff.
