How to Watch Super Bowl 2022: All your streaming options

The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will face off in the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Even though it is the Rams’ home ground, they will be the away team in Super Bowl LVI.

Whether you live a few miles away or are travelling from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, you may not be able to attend the game in person. Super Bowl LVI’s average ticket price of $10,237 is nearly double that of last year’s average ticket price. Using a streaming service to watch the game is the cheapest and possibly the best option.

DirectTV Transmission

DirecTV Stream has undergone an incredible number of moniker changes. In the past, AT&T TV, AT&T TV Now, and DirecTV Now were available. No matter what you name it, even its cheapest bundle, the $69.99 Entertainment package, includes NBC. Obviously, practically speaking, $70 per month is still not inexpensive. Other bundles offer more channels for $84 to $140 per month.

Positively, DirecTV Stream now includes genuinely limitless Cloud DVR storage space. At home, you can simultaneously watch the game or any other entertainment on up to 20 devices. Abroad, you can share your stream with up to three more devices.

FuboTV

As implied by its moniker, FuboTV focuses on sports. But it’s not just sports. It is also a complete streaming service with all the standard stations. The Starter package includes 109 channels and 250 hours of video DVR storage. You can simultaneously stream on up to three screens for $64.99 per month.

Hulu offering Live TV

The mix of on-demand video and live TV offered by Hulu with Live TV is appealing, and it also includes Disney+ and ESPN+. For $70 per month, that is extremely affordable. For this price, you may also simultaneously stream two sessions and receive 50 hours of cloud DVR storage.

For an additional $10 per month, you may get 200 hours of cloud storage. For an additional $10 a month, you can watch as many streams as you like at home. However, you are still restricted to three screens when away from home.

Peacock

When you subscribe to Peacock, you are guaranteed to receive NBC, thus you will also receive the Super Bowl. It also includes on-demand Peacock and NBC television episodes and films. It features a free tier with typical television advertisements. A Premium plan with fewer advertising costs $5 per month, while a Premium Plus plan without advertisements costs $10 per month.

However, Super Bowl commercials will still air during the game. This is the only time of year I don’t hate advertisements, as they are frequently entertaining in their own right. On any flight, it can be viewed on three displays. Nonetheless, you cannot record any show. Peacock does not support cloud DVR.

Sling TV

Sling TV’s à la carte approach to channels distinguishes it from its rivals. Sling TV offers two basic bundles, Blue and Orange, as well as a number of packages containing up to a dozen related channels, but its competitors typically offer only two to four packages.

For the Super Bowl, you must begin your bundling with the color blue. This service offers 42 channels for $35 per month and streaming on up to three devices. Also included are 50 hours of DVR storage space. If you wish to continue using Sling, you should combine it with Orange. This increases your channel count to over 50 for $50.

Youtube TV

It offers more of the most popular channels than its competitors, with over 85 channels. It also allows you to watch local PBS stations in most locations, in addition to local ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC networks. YouTube TV includes 78 of the top 100 networks, more than any other streaming service, according to CNET. Obviously, this includes NBC and the Super Bowl. This will cost you $55 for the first three months, followed by $65 every month. This service is compatible with three displays at once.

I hope you enjoy the game, my friends.

Do I need a membership to a live TV service in order to view the Super Bowl?

To watch the big game without cable, satellite, or over-the-air (OTA), you’ll need an NBC-supported live TV streaming service.

The options available to you include DirecTV Stream, FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.

The game will also be available on Peacock, NBC’s broadcast and streaming network, as well as the NBC or NBC Sports app.

Regardless of how you intend to view the game, you will need an internet connection with a minimum speed of 8 Mbps. The game will not be in 4K, so you need not need a particularly quick connection.

What is the most affordable method to broadcast the big game?

Unless you have an antenna, the cheapest option to watch the game is to use the NBC or NBC Sports app on your smart TV or streaming device. The applications are free. Their only expense is the minute required for installation. However, they may demand you to log into your cable or satellite TV account, which could be problematic if you’ve already cut the cord. Install the app and check well in advance of Super Bowl Sunday to ensure that you will be able to watch the game.

Regarding ensuring that the biggest streaming providers deliver NBC in the majority of regions. Let me underline this: Most. You don’t want to have to explain to your friends that they can’t watch the game because you can’t access NBC.

Where can I find a 4K stream of the Super Bowl?

Unlike in 2020, the Super Bowl cannot be viewed in 4K regardless of how it is viewed. Seriously. This is because NBC, which is showing the game this year, lacks the necessary technology.

NBC lacks the ultra-high-end equipment required to broadcast the game in 4K, such as the $50,000 Sony HDC-4300 camcorder with a $25,000 broadcast zoom lens. These individuals will likely be in Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Moreover, none of NBC’s streaming services — the NBC app, the NBC Sports app, or Peacock — are capable of displaying 4K or High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) television.

Fox Sports had been the only option for watching professional football in 4K, and even then, 4K NFL football was only accessible for Thursday night games. Perhaps next year, when Fox broadcasts Super Bowl LVII, we will be able to view the event in 4K. This year, though, any HDTV will suffice for your viewing pleasure.
