How to watch the Super Bowl, with or without cable

Don't let Super Bowl Sunday turn into a viewing disaster! This guide ensures you're ready to watch the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs clash at State Farm Stadium. Super Bowl LVII kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on February 12th, with pre-game coverage starting hours earlier. Fox holds the broadcast rights.

How to Watch the Super Bowl

The simplest method? Tune into Fox with your cable subscription. Unsure of your local Fox affiliate? Use the FCC's network finder (enter your address). Spanish-language coverage is available on Fox Deportes, and international viewers can find listings on the NFL's website.

For cord-cutters, an over-the-air antenna is a budget-friendly alternative. Antennas typically cost $20-$140; check PopSci's antenna reviews for rural area options.

The Fox Sports website and app also stream the game, but require login credentials from a cable provider or streaming service (see below). The app supports Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Android TV.
