Last year, Super Bowl LVII was the most-watched TV programming ever, with 123.4 million viewers across all platforms. The game was also the most-streamed ever on Paramount Plus.

This year, the Super Bowl will air on Fox. Game day coverage starts at 11 a.m. ET with interviews, commentary, season highlights and more, all the way until kickoff at 6:30 p.m. 

If you're using a streaming service that doesn't offer local channels but you want to tune into the Super Bowl, you're in luck. There are several options for catching all the action for free.

Watch the Super Bowl for free on Tubi

If you've cut the cord and don't want to sign up for another paid subscription, you can watch the Super Bowl and pregame coverage for free with Fox's free streaming service, Tubi. To watch, you'll need to create a free account. After the game, keep Tubi on your streaming roster to binge seasons of classic TV shows, look through the "canceled too soon" collection and keep an eye on the regularly rotated movie selection.

Watch the Super Bowl for free with a free trial

Free trials are the perfect way to test out a live TV streaming service and make sure it's a good fit for your household before committing to a monthly subscription. What better time to try out a new service than over Super Bowl weekend? 

Watch Super Bowl LIX with a DIRECTV STREAM free trial

DIRECTV STREAM's base Entertainment package has locals, including Fox for watching the Big Game, as well as sports networks like ESPN, ESPN2, and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). If you keep your subscription after the free trial, you'll also get to make the most of DIRECTV STREAM's unlimited Cloud DVR storage and simultaneous streams at home.

Watch the Super Bowl for free with an antenna

In most areas of the country, using an antenna will allow you to pick up local channels for free. The antenna itself doesn't need to be an investment either. You can find options online and in-store at places like Best Buy or Target for under $20. Be sure to get it set up before the Big Game to confirm that you can pick up your local Fox network.
