How to stream the Super Bowl for free this year
Tubi is offering a free livestream of the Super Bowl—marking its debut as a platform for live sports content. Additionally, the Fox Sports app will feature the game on mobile devices. Viewers can also explore free trial options with services like DirecTV Stream, Fubo, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV, which generally include local Fox affiliates. Users should confirm availability through their ZIP codes and remember to cancel subscriptions before the trial ends to avoid charges if they choose not to continue with the service.
Tubi’s livestream presents a high-definition option for viewing, but viewers may want to consider how the platform handles the high traffic of a major live event, given its typical use for on-demand content. With the Super Bowl being such a significant occasion, this could be a test of Tubi’s capability.
