The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will play the biggest game of the year on Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The game starts at 3:30pm local time (6:30pm ET) and we’ll tell you how to catch every snap, tackle, and touchdown whether you’re watching from your living room or halfway around the world.
The Free Route: Classic Over-the-Air Broadcasting
NBC’s free broadcast is the best for both traditionalists and people who have cut the cord: You can get to your local NBC station without paying for a subscription or having to have an internet connection with a simple digital antenna that costs about $30 at most electronics stores. People in big cities can watch WNBC in New York, KNBC in Los Angeles, or WMAQ in Chicago.
The over-the-air signal gives you the full NBC experience in HD quality, including Al Michaels’ famous play-by-play, extensive pregame coverage, Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime performance, and postgame analysis that goes well past midnight. Just pure, uninterrupted football the way it’s been shown for decades, with no buffering or data caps.
Peacock’s Digital Advantage: Premium Streaming
Peacock is NBC’s streaming service and gives viewers more options than just the regular broadcast. You have to pay $7.99 a month for the service with limited ads or $13.99 a month for the ad-free experience, but it has features that regular TV can’t match. Subscribers to Peacock can watch in 4K Ultra HD on compatible devices. They can also use new multiview options to watch multiple camera angles at the same time. The platform also has DVR features that let you rewind important parts and watch NFL Films documentaries and behind-the-scenes videos.
International Access: Streaming for Free
NBC and Peacock are only available in certain parts of the world for Americans living abroad and international fans. However, there are English-language options available all over the world: Channel 5 and BBC iPlayer both offer free coverage to viewers in the UK. New Zealanders can watch on TVNZ+, while Australians can watch on 7Plus.
VPN services like NordVPN can help people who want to watch these international streams or US expats who want British commentary. The service works on all major platforms and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Users just connect to servers in the country they want to watch TV in. For example, UK servers unlock Channel 5 and BBC iPlayer, Australian servers open 7Plus, and New Zealand servers open TVNZ. To watch Peacock from outside the US, connect to a US server after signing up.

What Super Bowl LX Means
This is the 60th championship game and it means more than just football. The Patriots-Seahawks game brings back one of the NFL’s most exciting recent rivalries: It pits New England’s powerful offense against Seattle’s rebuilt defense, which is reminiscent of the famous “Legion of Boom” era.
Bad Bunny is the main act at halftime and he will perform a 13-minute reggaeton show with hits like “Tití Me Preguntó” complicated dance moves and rumored guest appearances by some of the biggest names in Latin music. The show is now part of the list of famous halftime shows by Usher, Beyoncé, and Michael Jackson, and more than 120 million people are expected to watch it.
