No matter what country you are in, we can show you where to watch the Super Bowl live stream for free today. We have you covered with various international options to show you where to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Fransico 49ers in one of the world's biggest sporting events. We're just moments away from kick-off, but you're just a few clicks away from joining millions of sports fans around the world.
As with any Super Bowl, related news always breaks during the game. Beyonce announced her new Renaissance: Act II album during the ad breaks after being spotted sitting with Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey. We saw the two longest Super Bowl field goals in history, and Usher's Super Bowl set list had us winding back the clock and rocking some retro dance moves in our living rooms.
If you're in the US, UK, or Australia, you have the very best in simple options to watch the Super Bowl live streams via a free trial or free local broadcast. If you're in another country, you might be thinking you'll have to pay for a new sports subscription streaming service, and that is an option. But we can show you how to use a VPN (virtual private network) to watch one of the free broadcasts below without hitting one of those geo-blocks that usually stop you from watching.
The game is on CBS in the US, but if you don't already have that channel, you can get it for free via a seven-day Paramount Plus free trial, as the entry-level tier has the game tonight [Update: we've seen multiple reports of the Paramount+ feed having a few issues with buffering/logging in, but some users are saying when they login to the app via Amazon Prime instead, it's much smoother. If it continues, read on for an international alternative]. The UK and Australia have free Super Bowl live streams (links below) on some of their local TV channels online, but you'll need a VPN to access them from overseas - we'll show you how. We use them to unlock sports streaming throughout the year, such as:

Where to watch the Super Bowl live streams in the USA
The US Super Bowl live stream is available via multiple services carrying CBS. As mentioned earlier, Paramount Plus is the simplest option, as you can take advantage of the free trial to enjoy the game. When that 7-day free trial ends, it's only $5.99 a month should you wish to keep it a little longer, and you're free to cancel at any time.
If you're considering a cord-cutting service with a broad selection of cable channels that also include CBS, then you'll want to consider Fubo or Hulu's Live TV service. Neither are cheap, priced at $79.99 and $74.99 a month, respectively, but Fubo offers a 7-day free trial, so you can take it for a spin and cancel it before time's up to avoid paying if it's not working out. Both services run on a one-month rolling contract, so you can cancel whenever you like, which makes both much more appealing than traditional cable and multi-year deals.
There are free viewing options elsewhere in the world that you can access with a VPN. More on that later on and in the box above.

What channel is the Super Bowl on?
The Super Bowl live stream for Chiefs vs. 49ers will be shown on CBS in the USA, which you can see on most cable packages. Alternative options include watching it on Paramount Plus or picking up a live TV service like Fubo or Hulu with Live TV.
Free and legal online broadcast options are available via ITV1 in the UK or 7+ in Australia. These are the best options for most viewers around the world. If you're outside the UK or Australia, you must use a VPN to simulate your viewing device's location to get around the geo-blocks. We've detailed how to do this further down the page.
Paramount Plus' Essential tier is a steal at this price and only has limited ads. It features tons of on-demand content from Paramount, CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. And you get NFL and Champions League soccer live streaming. There's a 7-day free trial, then it's $6 a month or $60 a year. The only way to ditch the ads is by opting for the Showtime bundle.
Fubo is one of the lesser-known streaming services, but it's worth considering for those who love entertainment and non-traditional sports programming. It's pricey, but there is currently a 7-day free trial, so you can take it for a spin first.
Where to watch Super Bowl live streams from anywhere
If you're outside the US and fancy any of their streaming options mentioned above or are already signed up and just out of the country, a VPN will let you stream from abroad. However, if you don't have a US payment method, you won't be able to sign up for the US versions of Paramount Plus, Fubo, or Hulu. So, the free options in the UK or Australia are the better options for most international football fans.
Australian TV channel 7+and UK channel ITV both have a free Super Bowl live stream. You'll need a VPN to access them outside the country, though. Once you have a VPN, pick the corresponding country. Then head to the TV channel's site, create a free account (if using ITVX, 7+ doesn't need one), sign in, and you're away.
The DAZN Game Pass for the season's final game is available at a very affordable rate in over 250 other countries worldwide. Much lower than the cord-cutting services like Fubo and Hulu in the US. If you're not in a supported country, we'd usually use a VPN to join via one of them, as DAZN is a great option throughout the season. For just this one game, though, the most cost-effective option is using a VPN to watch the free live streams in the UK and Australia.

How to watch Super Bowl live stream in the UK
There's no need for a DAZN pass to watch the Super Bowl live stream in the UK. And despite all the ads, you don't have to join Sky either, as ITV will also be showing the game as it did last year after wrestling the rights away from the BBC.
Craig Doyle will join familiar faces and former NFL players Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora on hosting duties in the studio live from Las Vegas. Kick-off is at 11:30 p.m. GMT, but the show itself will start at 10:45 if you want to enjoy some of the build-up.
How to watch Super Bowl live stream in Australia
The good folks over at 7+have bagged a free live stream of the Super Bowl in Australia. You'll need a VPN to tune into this free live stream from outside the country though. It's well worth booking marking this channel for next season if things go as they did this time around.
As detailed in our free NFL live stream guide, 7+/7Mate showed free games every Sunday and loads of playoff action. This was a much simpler route compared to having to track the playoffs across multiple channels in the US. We'll update that free NFL guide closer to the start of next season when we can confirm if the Australian channel will be coming through for us in the 2024/2025 run.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

He oversees a wide range of our eCommerce content covering deals, popular sales events, How to Watch guides, and VPN articles. He also utilizes his extensive experience in SEO and Google algorithm updates to help improve content and rankings for a wide range of our shoppable buying guides, reviews, versus content, and more. He has over 16 years of online journalism experience and a UK University degree in Journalism and Film & Media. Initially working as a freelance gaming journalist and eCommerce editor, he later joined Future Publishing in 2016 as their first-ever Deals Writer at TechRadar. Over the next six years, he became the Deals Editor at TechRadar, then Managing Editor of Hardware & eCommerce at GamesRadar before moving over to Future's mobile tech division to become the eCommerce Content Director for Android Central, iMore, and Windows Central. Over the years, Brendan has written about a wide range of subjects. Be it covering game previews at GamesCom in Germany, listing the best Amazon Prime Day deals, reviewing gaming controllers, Kindles, and folding smartphones, or even international guides on buying a mattress - he's still quite annoyed that the UK and US have different sizes and names for them. More recently, he's been covering international How to Watch guides on various sporting events like Formula 1, tennis, Champions League, cricket, or the hottest new movies and TV shows. Outside of work, you'll find Brendan trying to make a dent in various watchlists across streaming apps or playing games on his Series X or PS5, usually downloading (hoarding) yet more Game Pass games or grumbling about how open-world games should be scrapped for a solid 10-hour experience like the Uncharted series.
