Super Bowl LIX is fast approaching, with only the Conference Championship games and a couple weeks until we find out who will top the NFL in 2025. This year, the big game will be at the home of the New Orleans Saints — the Caesars Superdome — and is the 11th time New Orleans hosts the Super Bowl (and eighth time at the Superdome).
As you’d expect for one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, there are going to be plenty of ways to watch the game, including cable, satellite, streaming, and OTA options. Let’s get into the details.
Who’s playing in Super Bowl LIX?
As of this moment, we don’t have an answer just yet, as both the AFC and NFC Championship games take place this Sunday, January 26. The action starts at noon ET as the Philadelphia Eagles welcome the Washington Commanders to the Linc — Lincoln Financial Field. A few hours later, at 3:30 ET, defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, face off against the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium.
The winner of each game will meet on the field of Caesars Superdome on Sunday, February 9 to determine the 2025 Super Bowl champion.
What time is the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LIX is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans (which is 5:30 p.m. local time). Pregame coverage, though, will start a few hours earlier on Fox at 3 p.m. and post-game coverage should start around 10 that night (unless we see the third Super Bowl overtime game in history).
You can also stream it from the Fox Sports app or Fubo, if you happen to subscribe to the service. In addition, for the first time, the entirety of the day’s coverage will be available on the free streaming service Tubi, including an exclusive pre-game red carpet event hosted by Olivia Culpo at 3:30 p.m. ET. And if you do stream the entire coverage through Tubi, fear not, you’ll be able to see all of those Super Bowl commercials, too.
Is Super Bowl LIX in 4K and HDR?
Yes, Super Bowl LIX will be available in 4K resolution on Fox and on Tubi. This also includes the halftime show with Grammy Award-winning artist, Kendrick Lamar. The broadcast will also be available in HDR on supported 4K HDR devices.
How to stream Super Bowl 2025 if you don’t have cable
If you don’t have access to Fox via a cable subscription or satellite service, you could get yourself an OTA antenna and connect it to your TV, or use a box like Tablo to make that over-the-air signal available to multiple devices in your home. Place the antenna as high as you can in your room, or better yet, outside on the roof. For those that have cut the cord, we recommend having an antenna in your setup. Be aware, though, that the ability to get channels will depend on your topography and nearby buildings. Once you’ve made the initial antenna purchase, though, it’s all free content.
There’s also the aforementioned Tubi option for free streaming (you just need to sign up for an account). Those with YouTube TV will again have the ability to watch on the popular live streaming service. As with Fox and Tubi, YouTube TV should have the broadcast in 4K, although YouTube TV’s 4K service is an add-on. (You can also sign up for a free preview and watch the game if you don’t have a current subscription.)
As we’ve already said, Fubo will carry the game, and it has one thing YouTube TV doesn’t — 4K content without an additional fee.
No matter what, there are plenty of ways to catch the big game. Just make sure to grab yourself a big-screen TV before the game as well. TCL has some incredible deals, including a $1,500 98-inch Q6.
