Football fans and commercial lovers alike from across the country are eagerly preparing for the Super Bowl. Whether that means stocking up on drinks, picking up your favorite snacks, or figuring out which team you’re rooting for, there are plenty of ways to get ready. This year’s contest, between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, has me torn as a Giants fan. Ultimately, though, I want a team other than the Chiefs to take home the title. Their dominance is getting a little boring.
If you’re starting to prep for the big game, though, one of the best ways to do so is to find a way to watch the Super Bowl that doesn’t cause too much hassle. If you have cable, you’ve got no worries, but if you don’t, things start to get interesting.
There are several ways to stream Super Bowl 2025, and we’ll get into each of them in detail below. So, if you’re looking for the best ways to watch the Chiefs take on the Eagles on Sunday, February 9, keep reading!
How to stream the Super Bowl for free
The 2025 Super Bowl will begin at 6:30 ET, and will be broadcast on FOX. Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will be on the call for the game. Although FOX is one of the least accessible channels to folks without a cable subscription, there are several ways you can watch the Super Bowl legally online.
Watch the Super Bowl online
Although the game is being broadcast on FOX, you can’t watch it on the FOX Sports App through your cable subscription, which is how it works for most games. Thankfully, though, you have several other options.
You can watch the Super Bowl through Tubi
The most unusual option for this year’s Super Bowl is the partnership that FOX has with Tubi. That partnership means that if you create an account with Tubi, you should be able to watch the game, as well as the same pre- and post-game coverage that FOX will be providing through its cable subscription. Here’s how to sign up for Tubi:
Can you watch the Super Bowl on FuboTV?
If Tubi won’t work for you, fear not! There are several other ways to watch the game online. Among those is a streaming service called FuboTV that not only grants you access to FOX, and thus Super Bowl LIX, but also has a 7-day free trial. If you’re hankering for a way to watch the game but have little interest in any additional content, you can cancel your membership after the big game before your free trial is up.
Can you watch the Super Bowl on YouTube TV?
In addition to FuboTV, the Super Bowl is also available through YouTube TV. Like FuboTV, it also comes with a free trial and offers access to FOX, which should allow you to watch the game without paying. YouTube TV should be available on most devices.
Can you watch the Super Bowl on Hulu?
If you haven’t heard from the fairly insistent advertising campaign, Hulu also has a live sports package. Hulu + Live TV doesn’t seem to have any sort of free trial, though, so you should be confident you’re going to use this service before you decide to sign up just for the Super Bowl.
What if I live outside the U.S.?
The Super Bowl has become so big over the years that it has grown into a truly international event. So, if you’re a football fan from outside the U.S. or an expat longing for a taste of home, you won’t have to miss the action (but you may have to stay up very late or get up at an ungodly hour to see the game). The NFL estimated a global audience of over 62 million watched last year’s Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the 49ers, showing the NFL is gaining interest around the world. Here’s a brief list of who is carrying the game overseas:
- United Kingdom: ITV, Sky Sports
- Canada: CTV, TSN, RDS (French language)
- Australia: Channel 7, 7mate
- China: Guangdong Television, Liaoning TV Sports Channel, Fujian TV Sports Channel, Hangzhou TV Sports Channel, Tianjin TV Sports Channel, Shaanxi Sports Channel, BesTV, Tencent, G-Sports
- Japan: Nippon TV
- Germany: ProSieben, ProSieben Maxx, ran, Joyn, DAZN
This is just a sampling of overseas TV networks carrying Super Bowl 2025, so the best bet for international viewers is to check local TV listings to see what network is carrying the game locally.
