When it comes to watching NFL football, you have a number of streaming options. But when it comes to watching Super Bowl LVIII, your options are more limited. You may have streamed playoff games on Peacock or Sling TV earlier this year, but neither will give you access to the big game on Sunday.
Whether you’re throwing the ultimate Super Bowl watch party or just watching the game at home with the family, you don’t want to wait until kickoff to set up your TV to watch the game. Check out our list below of the streaming services that will carry the Super Bowl, plus more NFL games to come in the 2024-5 season. If you’re not already signed up for one of them, we recommend signing up now, ahead of the game, so you won’t miss a minute of the pre-game festivities. Best of all, a few Super Bowl streamers are offering free trials, so you won’t even need to pay to watch.
Here’s what you need to know about streaming NFL football games, including Super Bowl LVIII, in 2024.

What to know about the 2024 Super Bowl
Super Bowl LVIII will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. The Super Bowl will be broadcast in two different formats. In addition to the live 2024 Super Bowl broadcast on CBS, the game will be simulcast on Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon’s family-friendly version of Super Bowl LVIII will feature virtual-reality graphics and Nick characters in the game broadcast.
Eight-time Grammy Award winner Usher will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. For the first time in his career, the 45-year-old singing sensation will headline the Super Bowl Halftime show. Usher previously appeared as a guest in the Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show, which was headlined by the Black Eyed Peas.
Usher told CBS News performing at the Super Bowl is a moment he’s waited for his entire life. The superstar was handpicked by Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation has executive produced the show since partnering with the NFL in 2019.
Streaming services that carry NFL football, but not the Super Bowl
While the streaming services listed above will give you access to NFL games that will be played in 2024, to watch all the games, you’ll also need a subscription to Amazon Prime. Prime Video is the exclusive home to “Thursday Night Football” in 2024. That means you won’t be able to watch Thursday NFL games with just a cable TV subscription or TV antenna.
While you can’t watch Super Bowl LVIII with a subscription to Amazon Prime, there is a way to watch the Super Bowl on Amazon. You can access the Paramount+ streaming service via Amazon for an additional $5.99 per month. A seven-day free trial is available, tap the button below to sign up.
Sling TV is a popular live TV streaming service, with plans starting as low as $40 per month. It’s one of our readers’ favorite picks for streaming sports, but it has one important limitation: Sling TV does not offer CBS, so you won’t be able to use it to watch Super Bowl LVIII.
And finally, you can watch live NFL games that air on NBC this year with a Peacock subscription. Peacock was also home to a pair of NFL games in 2023-4 that weren’t broadcast anywhere else. But because NBC will not be airing the Super Bowl this year, you can’t stream Sunday’s game on Peacock.
NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
