A quick summary of Super Bowl LV’s specifics:
When is the Super Bowl Kickoff?
The Super Bowl is set to take place on the 7th of February at 3:30 p.m. PST. Broadcasts will usually start half an hour earlier, but the kickoff time is at 3:30 PM PST. This means that our readers in the US can just watch the game during the day. If you live in Europe, however, you will probably have to stay up late to watch the Super Bowl. Below you’ll find an overview of when the Super Bowl is set to take place in some of the major timezones around the globe.
Where to Watch Super Bowl LV (2021) live
If you want to watch the Super Bowl Live, there are a bunch of channels and online streams that broadcast the major sporting event. In most countries, ESPN holds the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl in 2021. Generally, you have to pay to gain access to one of these broadcasts. However, there are a few countries in which you can watch the Super Bowl for free. In the UK you can watch the Super Bowl for free using the BBC iPlayer and in the US you can watch the Super Bowl for free using CBS Sports’ live stream. The Spanish version of ESPN also broadcasts the Super Bowl for free. However, if you’re not in one of these countries, you can still watch these Super Bowl streams for free by changing your IP-address using a VPN. We’ll tell you how in the next paragraph! For a full list of licensed broadcasters, take a look at this page on the NFL website.
Watch Super Bowl LV online for free, wherever you are: step by step
To watch the Super Bowl for free you need access to either ESPN’s, BBC’s, or CBS Sports’ live stream. We’re going to tell you how to do this using CBS Sports, because you don’t need to sign up for an account using CBS Sports. You’ll need to use a VPN to change your IP-address. If you want to watch it for free entirely you should pick a VPN with a good money-back-guarantee so you can get your money back after the Super Bowl. We tried it out with free VPNs, but we ran into a lot of loading issues, which will only be worse during the busy stream itself. It’s best to (temporarily) use a paid VPN. Tip: if the stream doesn’t work right away, reconnect to a different NordVPN server in the US and try to open the stream using an incognito tab. It also helps to turn off your adblocker.
Super Bowl LV Matchup: Chiefs vs. Buccaneers
This year, the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The winner will take home the prestigious Vince Lombardi Trophy and can call themselves NFL champions. This is the second year in a row that the Kansas City Chiefs have been in the NFL Finals. Last year they played the San Francisco 49ers and, with a comeback in the fourth quarter, won it 31 to 20. This year, the Chiefs are known for their strong offense, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce striking fear in the hearts of their opponents. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the big story is Tom Brady, the 43-year-old quarterback who is heading into his 10th Super Bowl (he already won it 6 times). Considered by some to be the best player of all time, he traded in the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Along with Tom Brady, the Bucs have other star players such as wide receivers Antonio Brown and Mike Evans. At the time of writing, the Chiefs are seen as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. However, a lot of people are not writing off Tom Brady just yet, especially since the Bucs are playing at home in their own stadium, something that has never happened before in the Super Bowl. In any case, it promises to be a very exciting Super Bowl!
Super Bowl 2021 halftime show
Another big part of the Super Bowl is the halftime show. This year it’ll be performed by Canadian artist The Weeknd. Because most viewers will be watching, the team organizing the Super Bowl has indicated it will be a visually spectacular show.
