ESPN is perhaps the most recognizable name in sports broadcasting, and its standalone streaming service, ESPN Plus, is a place many sports fans turn to when looking for the best ways to watch live sports online. ESPN Plus subscribers who are also football fans may be disappointed to find the Super Bowl isn’t available to watch on the streaming service this year. However, Fubo is one of the best streaming services for sports lovers, and with Fubo you can watch the Super Bowl for free.

How to watch the Super Bowl for free with Fubo

Fubo is highly regarded as a live TV streaming service because it has so many channels in its lineup. Among those channels is your local CBS network, which is who’s handling this year’s Super Bowl TV broadcast. A Fubo subscription will get you access to the Super Bowl, but a Fubo free trial will get you access to the game at no cost. A Fubo free trial is good for seven days of full access to the streaming service, which means you can watch the Super Bowl for free if you sign right now. You’ll also get access to other premier sports channels such as the ESPN networks, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, and NBC Golf.

But Fubo isn’t just for live sports. Once the Super Bowl is over you’ll still have some time to explore the platform, and you’re likely to come across some of the best sports movies of all time and some of the best sports documentaries of all time. Fubo channel lineup includes more than 400 channels. They include places to find top movies such as FX, FXX, SyFy, Ion, MTV, and more. More quality sports content can be found on Fubo through the likes of USA Network, TBS, ESPNU, Bally Sports Network, and a wide range of college sports networks. All of this is accessible with the Fubo free trial, and add-ons are available that include Starz, MGM+, Showtime, and NBA League Pass.

While the cheapest Fubo plan regularly comes in at $80 per month, the Fubo free trial is a great way to watch the Super Bowl for free if you’re subscribed to a streaming service that isn’t carrying the game.

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations

A new limited edition turntable combining physical and streaming makes music as generational as family

Electronics, Cd Player, Hot Tub

I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson's Thriller or Dr. Dre's The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes and worked better in the context of an entire album. He could sit and listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Beatles' Abbey Road with no breaks. I think the only album we could both do that with was Nirvana's Nevermind. In any case, by the time I was able to decide on the music in my own car, my generation was ripping music and making playlists on CDs. Even the greatest hits collections still had only one artist at a time. We wanted a collection of artists giving us the same feeling for 90 minutes without changing a CD. However, there is something to be said about my dad's way. A good album is a good album. And listening to them unbroken is a lost joy we're discovering again as a society. That is why Bang & Olufsen's new Beosystem drop is making a splash. The Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition brings the two generations together, making music the connection we've always needed it to be.

Six subscription services you can buy dad today and gift tomorrow

For the ultra procrastinator, here are gifts you can get today that you don't have to wait for delivery.

Adult, Male, Man

We all love Dad. But that doesn't mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you to call your dad tomorrow for Father's Day, then panicked because you forgot to get him something, you're not alone. The biggest issue with procrastinating on a gift is that you have to wait for delivery for most things. Getting a gift you can get your hands on right now is a lot harder to do. That is, unless you buy a subscription service. That's right, get him something that feels tailor-made for him without it needing to be done three months ago. Here are six subscription services for any kind of man in your life.
