What channel is the Super Bowl on in 2026?
This year you can watch the 2026 Super Bowl LX on the NBC channel. In fact, NBC is hosting a “Super Gold Sunday” with double the sports. Not only can you watch the Super Bowl, but NBC will also air coverage of the Winter Olympics.
This double-sports delivery doesn’t happen often—every four years to be exact. So make sure to tune in to NBC to catch double the sports.
If you want to watch in Spanish, Telemundo has the exclusive rights for the Spanish-language broadcast. If you already have cable or a satellite plan, you can just flip to your local NBC channel or use your login to watch on the NBC Sports app.

How to stream the Super Bowl without cable
You don't need an expensive cable contract or subscription streaming service to watch Super Bowl LX. If you’ve cut the cord on cable, you have plenty of ways to stream the big game for free. And free doesn’t mean sacrificing on streaming quality either.
Here are the best ways to stream Super Bowl LX in high definition on your TV, phone, or tablet:
Watch the Super Bowl on Peacock for $10.99
- What's included: You get the full live broadcast, including the halftime show and all the famous commercials.
- Cost: Peacock Premium ($10.99/month) or Premium Plus ($16.99/month).
- Compatibility: Works on almost everything—Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, smart TVs, and gaming consoles.
Since the game is on NBC, Peacock (which is owned by NBC) is the most direct way to stream it. Because NBCUniversal is the parent company of both, Peacock is guaranteed the highest-quality live feed with the lowest possible delay.
To watch the Super Bowl, you'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription, which starts at $10.99 per month. Peacock is the cheapest standalone way to stream the game—if you aren't using a free trial elsewhere. The app is compatible with tons of devices like the Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, smart TVs, and even gaming consoles. Better yet, you can cancel immediately after the game ends.
Does Peacock have a free trial?
No, Peacock does not currently offer a direct free trial. You'll need a paid subscription to watch the game, which starts at $10.99/month.
However, before you sign up, check if your other subscription accounts already include Peacock. Services like Instacart+, Walmart+, and certain internet plans often include Peacock for free.
Watch the Super Bowl on YouTube TV for free
- What's included: The complete NBC broadcast with local pre-game and post-game coverage.
- Cost: 7-day free trial available. Premium plan options start at $82.99/month.
- Compatibility: Stream on Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile devices.
YouTube TV is a cable replacement service that includes your local NBC station. It even lets you catch up on major highlights with its "Key Plays" feature in case you tune in late. I always use YouTube TV to watch sports because it has a multiscreen view. This year, I'll be watching the Olympics right alongside the game.
New users can sign up for a 7-day free trial, which provides a totally free way to watch the game on any supported device, including Google TV, Roku, and Apple TV. But make sure you time your trial right: A full subscription to YouTube TV is a whopping $82.99/month. If you're only there for the Super Bowl, remember to cancel before the trial window closes.
Watch the Super Bowl on Fubo for free
- What's included: Full access to NBC and Telemundo, plus over 200 other channels for a complete game-day experience.
- Cost: 7-day free trial available. Premium plans start at $55.99/month.
- Compatibility: Compatible with Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and most major Smart TVs.
Fubo is another sports streaming app that offers a 7-day free trial, so you can watch the game without paying all year long. You get a full 7 days to stream at your convenience. Fubo is also the streaming service with the most channels (over 414), including everything from NBC to Paramount+.
Fubo's subscriptions start at $55.99/month, and that's just for sports and news. If you decide to tune in to the Super Bowl on Fubo's free trial, remember to cancel before your seven days are up.
Watch the Super Bowl on NFL+
- What's included: Live local and primetime games (including the Super Bowl) and full game replays.
- Cost: No free trial. Subscriptions start at $6.99/month.
- Compatibility: Restricted to phones and tablets for live games. No casting or mirroring the game to a TV under the standard plan.
For those who can't be near a TV, NFL+ is the league's official mobile streaming service. At a budget-friendly $6.99/month, it provides live access to local and primetime games, including the Super Bowl, specifically for mobile users.
The major trade-off here is device restriction. Under the standard NFL+ plan, live postseason games are only viewable on phones and tablets. You can't cast or mirror the game from your phone to a smart TV, so this option is best if you're planning to watch solo on a handheld screen.

Can you watch the 2026 Super Bowl for free?
You don't have to spend a dime to watch the Super Bowl if you use one of these common pro-tips.
Live TV free trials
Services like YouTube TV and Fubo offer free trials to new customers. If you sign up a day or two before the game, you can watch the whole NBC broadcast for free. Just remember to cancel before it rolls over so you aren't charged for the next month!
Digital TV antenna
Since NBC is a local broadcast station, you can pick it up for free over the air. All you need is a basic digital antenna. It’s a one-time purchase that gives you free TV forever, and the picture quality is often better (and faster) than streaming because it doesn't have to travel through the internet first.
