When is Super Bowl 2022?

Most importantly, you need to know when the game starts. Super Bowl LVI is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT kickoff on Sunday, February 13, 2022, from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. NBC will broadcast the game on TV while NFL GamePass, Sirius XM, and Westwood One have the radio coverage.

How to stream Super Bowl 2022 on your phone

In addition to the live broadcast on NBC, the Super Bowl will air on many streaming platforms that offer web browser or mobile app access, including Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Peacock, Sling TV, FuboTV, the NFL app, the Yahoo! Sports app, and the NBC Sports app (iOS and Android).

In fact, given that basically all streaming services offer mobile apps or web browser access, your phone offers the most flexibility in watching the game. While you’ll need a subscription (or a free trial) to watch the Super Bowl with any of the live TV streaming services, there are a number of free options. The NFL app, Yahoo! Sports app, and NBC Sports app will all offer the game for free. Likewise, you can watch the game on NBCSports.com without a subscription.

Razer has launched the Barracuda V2 Pro, a new wireless gaming headset that is meant to work just as well away from a desk as it does in front of one. It costs $199.99 and comes with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio, THX Spatial Audio+, and up to 70 hours of battery life.

The original Barracuda Pro followed much the same formula. We liked its understated design, balanced audio, and flexible connectivity, but the $250 price, loose fit, and weak microphone made the package harder to recommend. The interesting part here is that Razer seems to have gone directly after a few of those complaints.

A song can be finished long before you’re finished with it. A vocal remover can pull the singer out when you’re learning the drums, while stem separation can reveal a guitar part buried somewhere in the mix. An old interview could contain useful dialogue beneath room noise, while a video might have perfectly good speech trapped underneath its soundtrack.
