Are you ready for the biggest sporting event of the year, but panicking because you’ve cut the cord? Super Bowl LX is almost here, and if you’re like most cord-cutters, you’re probably wondering how on earth you’re going to watch it. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. While cable subscribers and antenna users can sit back and relax, the rest of us need a game plan. Let’s dive in.
Super Bowl 2026: When It Starts and How to Stream It
The highly anticipated matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots is just days away, and this year’s event is packed with must-see moments. From Bad Bunny’s halftime show to the Pokémon 30th anniversary commercial, you won’t want to miss a second. But here’s where it gets tricky: how do you watch it all without cable? Let’s break it down.
Kickoff Time and Streaming Options
The game is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the good news is that it’s airing on NBC. That means the entire event will livestream on Peacock—but there’s a catch. And this is the part most people miss: Peacock’s cheapest tier doesn’t include live sports, so you’ll need to shell out at least $10.99 for a month of the premium service. Unless, of course, you’ve got a friend willing to share their password. After the game, you can binge Yellowstone or explore other shows before canceling—it’s up to you.
Controversial Take: Is Peacock Your Best Bet?
While Peacock seems like the simplest solution, it’s not the only one. Streaming services like YouTube TV, Fubo, and Hulu with Live TV also carry NBC, but here’s the kicker: their monthly fees are significantly higher, often nearing $100. Some offer free trials, but forget to cancel, and you’ll pay the price. Is it worth the risk, or should you just bite the bullet with Peacock? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Final Thoughts
If you’re planning a Super Bowl party and want to keep things stress-free, Peacock’s $10.99 plan is likely your best bet. It’s straightforward, affordable, and avoids the hassle of remembering to cancel a pricier service. But if you’re feeling adventurous—or already have a free trial lined up—those other options are worth exploring. Either way, you’re in for a night of football, entertainment, and unforgettable moments. Now, the only question left is: who are you rooting for?
