Will the New England Patriots secure a record-breaking seventh title and complete one of the most improbable turnaround seasons in NFL history? Or will the Seattle Seahawks finally get revenge for that heartbreaking 2015 loss to the Pats and bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the Pacific Northwest? We’re about to find out as these two powerhouses meet in Super Bowl LX.
The game promises drama, high stakes, and unforgettable moments for the NFL’s 60th championship anniversary. And watching it on Sunday, Feb. 8 will be easy to do without paying for an expensive cable bundle.
The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Sunday February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, with pre-game coverage starting at 12:00 p.m. ET. NBC has the rights to broadcast the game this year, and you can watch it in 4K HDR on multiple platforms.
The game will be available in 4K HDR on NBC’s cable and satellite channels through participating TV providers, as well as via the NBC Sports app. Additionally, NBC’s Peacock streaming service, will offer the game in 4K HDR, marking a massive “4K All Day” event that also includes live coverage of the Winter Olympics, which get underway on February 4 in Italy (opening ceremony will be on February 6).
Whether you prefer traditional TV or streaming, we’ll show you how to watch all the action—plus those iconic commercials and the halftime show, starring Bad Bunny—even if you don’t have a cable- or satellite-TV subscription.
NBC-owned Peacock is the exclusive streaming home for this year’s game. Unlike some past Super Bowls, you’ll need a paid Peacock subscription to watch: Peacock Premium costs $10.99 per month, while Premium Plus runs $16.99 per month. The game will not be available on Peacock’s free tier.
Peacock will stream Super Bowl LX in 4K HDR on supported devices, including select Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku streaming players. The broadcast is part of NBC’s “4K All Day” coverage, which also includes select live events from the 2026 Winter Olympics. While Peacock requires a subscription, its stream will carry the same commercials shown on the live NBC television broadcast.
Signing up for a streaming service is another way to tune into the big game, although it’s not the cheapest–unless you sign up for a free trial and cancel your subscription sometime after the game.
If you’re old enough, the thought of using an antenna probably conjures memories of temperamental “rabbit ears” and staticky images. Thanks to modern broadcast technology and over-the-air antennas, you can get a high-quality image that can, in many cases, be better than what you’d get with a subscription.
If you live close enough to a broadcast tower, you might be able to use a paper-thin indoor model, such as our top pick, the Channel Master Flatenna 35. “35” indicates the manufacturer’s promise of 35-mile range. A Flatenna 50 model promising—you guessed it—50 miles of range is also available for $49. Those range numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, since the topographical features where you live can limit reception. We’re also fans of the Televes Bexia amplified indoor antenna ($99.95 street).
If you’re more distant than that, you might be better off with an antenna that mounts to your roof or on a freestanding mast. The Televes Dat Boss Mix LR (model 149884) is our favorite in that category. Another alternative is to mount an antenna like the Winegard Elite 7550 in your attic. Whichever way you go, all you need to do is plug the antenna into the tuner that’s a fixture of most modern TVs.
Before you purchase an antenna, though, go to a site like Rabbit Ears and see which networks are available from your local broadcasters. Just enter your address to get a report of all the broadcast signals in your area, ranked from strongest to weakest. Once you determine which broadcaster is furthest from your home, you’ll know what range antenna to buy. A website such as Antennaweb will show you the NBC channels closest to your zip code.
Whichever options you choose, you’re guaranteed to have a front-row seat when either the Seahawks or the Patriots hoist the Lombardi Trophy at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on February 8.
