The fifty-eighth Super Bowl is coming up, with the big game slated to take place on Sunday, Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. ET and broadcast on CBS. Because of this, you’ll be able to watch this year’s Super Bowl using Paramount+, since the streaming service is owned by CBS.
But Paramount+ isn’t the only streaming service you can use to watch the Super Bowl, so keep reading to find out other ways you can watch the Super Bowl!
4 ways to watch the Super Bowl LVIII
Paramount+ isn’t just your best bet for watching the Super Bowl—you can also use it to watch games throughout the season. 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 58 without Paramount+, here are a few of your options.
1. Fubo
The sports-centric streaming service Fubo offers the CBS channel in any of its plans, and offers a 7-day free trial. You can check whether they carry a CBS local affiliate for your area right here on Fubo’s website.

2. Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV carries CBS channels with its sole subscription package. You can check if Hulu + Live TV offers CBS for your area by visiting their website and entering your zip code. If you’re already a subscriber, you can use the in-app Live TV menu to browse your available channels and find out if you have access to the FOX networks.

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 LVIII!
Can you watch other NFL games on Paramount+?
Yes. You can watch other NFL season games on CBS with the Essential plan, as long as there are no regional blackouts on the games you’re trying to watch.
Will the Super Bowl always be on Paramount Plus?
Super Bowl LVIII 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: Your best bet to watch Super Bowl 58 is on Paramount+, but there are other ways to tune in
Paramount+ is your best bet for watching the Super Bowl, but you can also check out other streaming services that carry CBS, such as Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream, and YouTube TV.
Alternatively, you can also set up an over-the-air antenna to get your local CBS channel for free, and be able to tune into this year’s Super Bowl.
