Cable is out, and most people spend their time and money on streaming services like Peacock and Netflix, but only some platforms stream sports. Before game day, let’s get any confusion out of the way and find the perfect streaming service for you to watch the big game. Below we’ll go over various platforms streaming the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 12.
Streaming Services
Fox, CBS, and NBC have been rotating on which network airs the Super Bowl for years. For 2023, Fox has the rights to it, and in 2024, CBS will. Contracts renew in 2024, adding ABC back into the rotation.
Super Bowl LVII will be held at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, February 12, with kickoff at 4:30 p.m. (MST). You can watch the big game on a few streaming services, including SlingTV, Hulu+, and more.
