For our neighbors to the north, there are a couple of options to watch the Super Bowl 2024 live stream in Canada.

NFL fans in Australia can watch this Steelers vs Bills live stream because 7Mate is showing the entire NFL playoffs Wild Card weekend slate of games on 7Mate and 7Plus for free.

How to watch Super Bowl 2024 in 4K and HDR

CBS, for the first time in its history, will be offering the Super Bowl 2024 live stream in 4K and 4K high dynamic range (HDR) broadcasts. A 1080p full HD HDR feed will be available on most platforms, including Paramount Plus, but the 4K HDR feed is limited only to a few select partners.

Luckily for you, CBS isn't being too selective with its partners for offering this 4K HDR feed. Annoyingly, Paramount Plus won't get it, but if you have traditional cable there's a good chance your CBS HD feed will be in 4K resolution with HDR.

But it's not just cable providers offering this 4K Super Bowl 2024 live stream. Some of the best cable alternatives are offering this higher resolution feed as well. 

Of those, we recommend Fubo which offers the Super Bowl 2024 in 4K to subscribers with an Elite plan or higher at no additional charge. YouTube TV also offers a 4K HDR feed through its 4K Plus offering, which is an additional $9.99 a month. While Sling TV is great, it misses out on the Super Bowl 2024 live stream entirely, as it doesn't offer CBS.

Super Bowl LVIII kicks off in Las Vegas, NV at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT/11:30 p.m. BT/10:30 a.m. AEDT.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the San Francisco 49ers are favored by just 2 points right now. Las Vegas is also expecting some scoring from both teams in this showdown on the Strip. The over/under is set at 47.5 points, meaning each team is likely putting up at least a couple of touchdowns.

Finally, there's the moneyline. This is just a straight-up bet on who is going to win. Right now, a $100 bet on the 49ers to win will win you $180, while just a $100 bet on the Chiefs will win you $205.

How to watch the best Super Bowl 2024 commercials

Super Bowl 2024 may not be until Sunday, but the commercials have already started. 

Super Bowl commercials cost a ton of money just for the time slot, so companies put a ton of effort — and often money — into the production of these commercials. Approximately one in three Americans reportedly watch the game each year, so a memorable Super Bowl commercial can give a brand a massive boost.

Currently, we've clocked 34 Super Bowl ads available to watch right now. There are a few early contenders for the best ad so far, including a Paramount Plus ad that has Sir Patrick Stewart through a beloved animated character up a mountain. 

But for me, the best ad so far is for STōK Cold Brew. The Wrexham AFC sponsor may typically do its advertising in big games for the other football, but it too has a Super Bowl ad this year. And that ad has legendary actor Sir Anthony Hopkins as the newest addition to the Wrexham squad. I'm not proud of it, but I've already watched it several times.

Best TVs for watching Super Bowl 2024

Can I watch Super Bowl 2024 live streams on Peacock?

While the NFL and NBC raised some eyebrows with a Peacock-exclusive playoff game between the Dolphins and Chiefs, that was a one-time occurrence — for now. Super Bowl LVIII is exclusive to CBS in the U.S. and therefore it's Paramount Plus that gets it among the top streaming services. 

However, Peacock will get a Super Bowl in a few years. Currently, Super Bowl LX in 2026 is slated to air on NBC and Peacock, as is Super Bowl LXIV in 2030.
