How To Stream Super Bowl LIX in 2025

Super Bowl LIX airs on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m., ET. Whether you’re rooting for a three-peat for the Chiefs or hoping for the Eagles to fly on the wings of Saquon and Hurts, you need a plan for how to watch.

The big game (not to mention the year’s best commercials and Kendrick Lamar’s killer Halftime Show) will air on FOX. If you already get FOX through your TV provider, you’re in good shape. But if you’re like my household and you cut the cord long ago, you need a streaming solution.

Fox’s free streaming service Tubi is premiering its NFL coverage for the Super Bowl, and you can sign up for free (no credit card required). You can even watch in 4K, as long as you have fast internet, a 4K TV, and a compatible streaming device.

If Tubi’s not your cup of tea, you can stream on the NFL app or sign up for a premier streaming service like Fubo, YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV. Each offers free trials so you can watch the game without paying—just don’t forget to cancel once the champions hoist that Lombardi trophy high.

What’s the best streaming service for other NFL games in 2025?

After the Super Bowl comes to a close, football fans won’t have any new games to watch until Fall of 2025. But you can get ready: Paramount+ and YouTube TV with NFL Sunday Ticket are the two best options for streaming NFL games. These two platforms give you the lion’s share of broadcasts, including kickoffs in your local market, hundreds of Sunday-afternoon NFL matchups, and  Super Bowl LVIII, of course.

Since NFL games are broadcast over multiple networks, you unfortunately can’t get one streaming option to cover every single game happening over the entire season. But other streamers can get you special games and broadcasts, including Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and ESPN+. We don’t know yet what to expect from Tubi.

You can also tune in with a cable TV plan, which may be more reliable if you don’t have the best internet connection. (See our tips below for Wi-Fi speed recommendations and ways to optimize your streaming for live sports.)

Best for streaming in-market games and Super Bowl LVIII: Paramount+ gets you access to games in your local market, which are streamed live on CBS. 

Best for streaming out-of-market games: YouTube TV holds exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, an add-on that gets you most of the NFL’s out-of-market games for your lazy Sunday afternoons. You also get the major channels that broadcast football, including NBC, FOX, ESPN, and NFL Network.

Best for streaming everything else:

• Amazon Prime Video is the home to Thursday Night Football
• Peacock, the streaming service of NBC, gets you Sunday Night Football 
• ESPN+ lets you watch Monday Night Football

Best for streaming games free: The NFL’s mobile app gives you free access to live local and prime-time games. You can also watch highlights and breaking news, and you can sign into NFL Sunday Ticket through the app for out-of-market matches.

TV channels with NFL:

• CBS
• ESPN
• FOX
• NBC
• NFL Network
• NFL RedZone

You need a smart TV and a streaming device like a Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV, which support the streaming platforms that broadcast live NFL games. Of course, you also need an active subscription to your preferred streamer or a cable TV plan that gives you channels like CBS and ESPN.

If you’re looking forward to a big game, the last thing you want is a spotty Wi-Fi connection buffering two seconds before a touchdown or lagging behind your neighbor’s stream. You don’t want the cheers next door to spoil the surprise of a big play, and you need a reliable connection to keep up with CBS broadcaster dynamic duo Charles Davis and Ian Eagle too.

Here are some troubleshooting measures you can take to ensure your Wi-Fi doesn’t make a fumble.

Replace your router

An out-of-date router means slow speeds and occasional restarts. Vamp up your equipment with a router featuring the Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E standard. See our best routers guide for recommendations.

Move your router

If your router’s shoved into a back closet or cabinet, the signal is going to have trouble making a connection with your TV. Put the router in a centralized place, such as your living room or wherever you’ll plan to watch the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Test your speeds

A speed test is the stethoscope of your Wi-Fi network, letting you know whether you’re getting the bandwidth you’re paying for from your internet provider. Run speed tests regularly (and download our speed test app!) to make sure your Wi-Fi isn’t under the weather by game time.

Limit other devices

Sorry kids, you don’t need to watch Frozen II for the 15th time if it means the parents might risk missing a game-clinching field goal. When the big game is coming up, politely ask your children or roommates to cool it on excess app and browser usage—or kick everyone off the Wi-Fi using your router’s admin settings.
