Trying to figure out how to stream the Super Bowl 54?
The Top Ways to Stream the Super Bowl 54:
Sling TV
Cost:$20 for the first month then $30
Our assessment:For the price, this is the best service on the market today. It’s no wonder a lot of people are moving to Sling TV. It doesn’t have the flashiest interface, but it’s dependable and offers a lot of channels for a very fair price. Definitely one to consider, especially if you’re looking to save some cash.
YouTubeTV
Cost:$49.99 per month (free 5 day trial)
Our assessment:YouTubeTV is a great alternative to Hulu (they’re the two most popular cable TV alternatives out there today). YouTube’s impressive lineup of sports networks is what attracts most people. But their user interface is also very intuitive (in our opinion) and it too is available on most devices. And the five bucks a month in savings certainly doesn’t hurt. This is our go-to option if you’re looking for an alternative to cable TV.
Hulu with Live TV
Cost:$54.99 per month (first month is free)
Our assessment:Aside from being able to stream the Super Bowl, Hulu is a great option in that there is an awesome selection of TV series and movies that come with it – so you’ll have lots to watch after the game is over. It’s also integrated with almost every streaming device which is very convenient. The only drawback is that you have to pay more for Hulu with Live TV. Live broadcasts like the Super Bowl aren’t available on Hulu’s On-Demand plans. While a great option, it’s not our top choice.
FuboTV
Cost:$55 for the first month (free 7 day trial)
Our assessment:Across most platforms, FuboTV has a great user experience – it’s maybe lesser known compared to the other platforms but it’s another great option. The subscription includes Regional Sports Networks so this is a good option for sports fans looking to watch the Super Bowl. That said, this platform does not come with ESPN channels, which could be a deal breaker.
Don’t Forget… Fast Internet Speed is Essential:
While you’re considering your streaming options, you should also consider your current Internet speed (which you can test here). This will be the first year that you’ll be able to watch the Super Bowl in 4k resolution – more than twice as much detail as with traditional 1080p.
If you’re committed to watching the game in 4k, keep in mind that you’re also going to need a screen capable of displaying that much resolution. Most modern televisions are capable of handling that much detail, but you should check your screen to be sure. It could be time for an upgrade.
But the biggest consideration here, even if you’re ok with watching the game in 1080p, is your Internet speed. You’re going to need a fast Internet connection (more than 40 Mbps, or “megabytes per second”). This is something you should consider in advance of the big day as there’s nothing worse than watching the Internet lag behind the game’s best moments.
Upgrading to a faster Internet speed will also make it easier for multiple family members to be using the Internet at the same time. The kids could be watching something on Disney Plus while you enjoy the game in the other room, without sacrificing image quality or load times. So, upgrading to a faster Internet connection goes beyond being able to stream the Super Bowl in 4k – it’s about making it work better for your family.
