How to watch Super Bowl 2026 — stream *FREE* online from anywhere

A detailed view of the Vince Lombardi Trophy is seen on the field prior to the star of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eaglesat Caesars Superdome on February 09, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. .

It's Super Bowl week and the excitement is already palpable. Scheduled on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, this will be the third Super Bowl held in the San Francisco Bay Area, and will see the Seattle Seahawks face off against the New England Patriots in a rematch from a decade ago.

You can watch Super Bowl LX online from anywhere with a VPN.

Super Bowl LX date, time, and streaming options

Date and time: Super Bowl LX will take place on Sunday, February 8 at 6.30pm ET / 3.30pm PT / 11.30pm GMT / 12.30am CET (Monday)
• U.S. — NBC via Peacock
• U.K.Sky Sports / DAZN / Channel 5 / BBC
• CanadaCTV / TSN / DAZN
• Australia 7plus (FREE) / DAZN
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free

Super Bowl LX’s halftime show will feature Puerto Rican global superstar Bad Bunny. The performance is expected to be culturally significant, as he’ll become the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline a Super Bowl halftime show.

As always, expect a lot of glamor in the pre-show as well. The NFL has announced that platinum-selling vocalist Charlie Puth, Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile, and breakout R&B performer Coco Jones will lead the pregame entertainment lineup.

As for the game itself, the matchup is finally set. After one of the most wide-open Super Bowl races in recent memory, it will be the New England Patriots taking on the Seattle Seahawks.

Victory in Santa Clara would see the Patriots become the outright holders of the most Super Bowl titles, overtaking the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are chasing just their second Lombardi Trophy since lifting it in 2013.

As ever, the quarterbacks will dominate much of the conversation. New England’s Drake Maye has emerged as the hottest new name in the league. Among the favourites to win MVP, he is set to become the youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl since Dan Marino in 1985. On the other sideline, Seattle’s Sam Darnold has taken a very different path to this stage, overcoming multiple setbacks following disappointing spells with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers. He was even moved on by the Minnesota Vikings last season, despite helping them reach the playoffs. Can one of these two become the star for their side?

With pop culture’s biggest names set to take centre stage and fierce competition on the field, the countdown to Super Bowl LX has officially begun. Read on as we explain how to watch Super Bowl 2026 online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world — including free options.
