Super Bowl 2024 4K HDR live stream
As this year's official broadcaster, CBS has confirmed that it will let you watch the 2024 Super Bowl live stream in 4K HDR. It will shoot the action in 1080p HD, then upscale it to 4K for the TV broadcast.
CBS has said that its 4K HDR feed will be supplied to selected multichannel video programming distributors and streaming services, but at the time of publication these have not been named. The only streaming service we know for sure that will get the 4K feed is CBS's own Paramount Plus. However, in order to get the Super Bowl in 4K on Paramount Plus, you'll need the top-tier Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
If you don't have cable, another good bet to watch Super Bowl 2024 in 4K HDR is the cord-cutting service FuboTV. There's no confirmation as yet but it carries CBS and has broadcast the Super Bowl in 4K in previous seasons. We have full details on that below too.
FuboTV, Paramount Plus and YouTube TV subscribers can watch the Super Bowl in 4K from abroad by using a VPN. Of course, if you're not too bothered about watching the big game in tip-top quality, then don't miss our section on Super Bowl 2024 free live streams too.

You won't be able to watch Paramount Plus with Showtime, Fubo TV or YouTubeTV when traveling outside the US. The streaming service will spot that you're in a foreign country and block you. You can use a VPN (virtual private network) to get around this, though.
It's a magical piece of software that sets your device appear as if it's located the country of your choice (e.g. the USA), allowing you to access the likes of FuboTV from whatever country you happen to be visiting.

Super Bowl FAQs
Is the Super Bowl broadcast in true 4K?
No. CBS will record the game in HD and then 'upscale' the footage to 4K for broadcast. This is because 4K footage requires a lot more bandwidth, and you don't want to risk any issues creeping into a live broadcast. CBS will likely record some footage using 4K cameras, and even some 8K ones, though this will be restricted to extreme close-ups for close calls and panning shots from the skycam, for example.
What devices will let you to watch the Super Bowl in 4K HDR?
To watch the Super Bowl in all its 4K HDR glory, you'll need a pretty fast internet connection (about 18-25Mbps or above), a subscription carrying a 4K HDR stream (like FuboTV) and a 4K-, HDR-capable device on which to watch. These include the Amazon Fire Stick 4K, Apple TV 4K and Roku Express 4K, among others. Make sure your TV is compatible with 4K and HDR as well – most bought in the last few years should be.
