Cordcutting sports fans, rejoice:聽CBS Sports has announced聽plans to stream Super Bowl 50 online for free.聽
In a move that should please cordcutting football fans everywhere,聽CBS Sports has announced聽plans to stream Super Bowl 50 online for free.聽
The live stream will be available atCBSSports.com.
Online viewers聽won't be聽limited to watching on laptops and tablets since聽that free access extends to streaming devices that support CBS Sports. You can watch on supported devices including:
- Roku
- Apple TV
- XBOX One
- Windows 10
- Chromecast
Eligible聽Verizon Wireless聽customers also can watch on the聽NFL Mobile App,聽though the idea of watching football on a phone is just a little聽depressing.
This is possibly the best news I've heard all day. Although the聽picture quality is better when you can watch it on the free over-the-air HD signal, and聽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聽pick up the local CBS channel.
Of course, Tech Editor David pointed out that we routinely see good quality HD antennas that聽cost less than $20, like聽this one from ViewTV聽with聽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聽Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 6:30pm ET聽on your local CBS channel,online at CBSSports.com, and on the CBS Sports channel on your streaming device.
P.S. CBS has been streaming the playoffs free too, including this聽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!
