In a move that should please cordcutting football fans everywhere,听CBS Sports has announced听plans to stream Super Bowl 50 online for free.听
The live stream will be available at.
Online viewers听won't be听limited to watching on laptops and tablets since听that free access extends to streaming devices that support CBS Sports. You can watch on supported devices including:
贰濒颈驳颈产濒别听听customers also can watch on the听,听though the idea of watching football on a phone is just a little听depressing.
This is possibly the best news I've heard all day. Although the听picture quality is better when you can watch it on the free over-the-air HD signal, and听I live in a major city where the over-the-air HD signal should be plenty strong, my flimsy cheapo rabbit ears have never managed to听pick up the local CBS channel.
Of course, Tech Editor David pointed out that we routinely see good quality HD antennas that听cost less than $20, like听听with听a 50 mile range for $19.99. I know, shame on me for not investing in something better, but I really just don't watch live TV often enough for it to inspire me to do something about it. So hooray for streaming options! I'll buy a better antenna someday.
Super Bowl 50 will air on听Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 6:30pm ET听on your local CBS channel,, and on the CBS Sports channel on your streaming device.
P.S. CBS has been streaming the playoffs free too, including this听Sunday's AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. Looks like I'll be rooting for my Broncos through my Roku this weekend!
