The 2024 Super Bowl showdown is officially set. On February 11th, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers face off at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium in the NFL’s marquee event. With kickoff at 3:30 PM Pacific/6:30 PM Eastern, millions of viewers have ample opportunity to catch Super Bowl LVIII across various broadcast and streaming options.
At its core, CBS retains the rights to this year’s big game as part of an ongoing rotation between major networks. That means tuning into your local CBS station on cable/satellite provides the most basic access. Their sports-focused CBS Sports Network channel offers an alternate feed as well.
Considering corporate synergy, the standalone Paramount+ streaming service provides another first-party CBS viewing choice starting at just $6 monthly. This likely represents the most affordable stream barring any special promotions nearing game day. And a free seven-day trial means potentially catching the Super Bowl at no cost.
If streaming is a priority, major live TV providers like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and FuboTV carry CBS among their channel bundles ranging from $65-$85 monthly. They generally include free trial offers too, if timed properly.
Super Bowl LVIII also promises a kid-friendly broadcast courtesy of…Nickelodeon? Yes – the children’s channel adds virtual graphics and appearances from SpongeBob SquarePants characters explaining rules and plays to interest young sports fans.
Any viewers on the go can watch Super Bowl LVIII directly on iOS/Android devices through the NFL+ app for $7 monthly. Just don’t expect casting abilities or non-mobile viewing options.
Halftime entertainment often steals headlines as well, with uberstars routinely grooving stadium crowds. This year Usher takes the spotlight, coinciding with his new album release just two days prior. Pre-game festivities kick off with country queen Reba McEntire guiding the national anthem, followed by Post Malone’s take on America the Beautiful.
With expanded broadcast options through Paramount+ and specialty feeds from CBS Sports and Nickelodeon, the NFL continues catering to diverse football-watching preferences. Between network television and an array of streaming outlets, viewing Super Bowl LVIII has never been more flexible or cost-effective. Whether gathered around the family big screen or discretely following the action on your phone, fans can tune in based on their budget and location.
