The fifty-seventh Super Bowl is coming up, with the big game slated to take place on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m. ET and broadcast on FOX.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to watch this year’s Super Bowl using Paramount+, since the streaming service doesn’t offer FOX in any of its channel packages.
Instead, read our guide to seven ways to watch Super Bowl LVII.
But just because Paramount+ isn’t the answer to all your football needs, doesn’t mean we’re going to leave you high and dry. Keep reading to find out other ways you can watch the Super Bowl!
4 ways to watch the Super Bowl LVII
You may not be able to watch this year’s Super Bowl on Paramount+ since it doesn’t offer FOX in any of its packages, but that doesn’t mean that football fans should write the streaming service off altogether. You can stream tons of NFL games live on CBS with the Essential plan, as long as the game is being broadcast on your local station. You can check out the game schedule here.
However, if you’re specifically looking to watch Super Bowl 57, you’ll need the FOX channel. So if you’re a cord-cutter, here are a few of your options.
1. Sling TV
You can watch Super Bowl LVII with a Sling Blue subscription—just be sure to make sure that FOX is available in your area before subscribing. You can do this simply by entering your ZIP code on the Sling TV website.

3. Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV carries FOX channels with its sole subscription package. You can check if Hulu + Live TV offers FOX for your area by visiting their website and entering your zip code.

4. Getting an OTA antenna
With an over-the-air antenna, you can get local channels for free without subscribing to a streaming service. As long as there is a local FOX affiliate in your area, all you need to do is pay the upfront fee for the antenna, set it up, and you’re all set to watch the Super Bowl LVII!
Can you watch other NFL games on Paramount+?
Yes. You can watch NFL on CBS broadcasts with the Essential plan, as long as there are no regional blackouts on the games you’re trying to watch.
Will the Super Bowl ever be on Paramount Plus?
Super Bowl LVIII, which is set to take place in February 2024, should be available on Paramount+, since CBS was awarded the rights to broadcast.
However, until the streaming service expands the amount of local channels it offers, its subscribers will have to wait until 2028 to be able to watch the Super Bowl again using their Paramount+ subscription, then again until 2032.
Our takeaway: Super Bowl 57 is not on Paramount+, but there are still many ways you can tune in
There’s no way to watch Super Bowl LVII on Paramount+, since the streaming service doesn’t carry FOX channels.
Your best bet is to subscribe to a streaming service that carries FOX, such as Sling TV, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream, YouTube TV, and Vidgo.
Alternatively, you can also set up an over-the-air antenna to get your local FOX channel for free, and be able to tune into this year’s Super Bowl.
