If you don’t have cable, the answer might not be obvious! Fortunately, there are many streaming services and streaming devices that make watching the Super Bowl easy. (You could even watch it for free with an over-the-air antenna.)

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.

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.

If you’re just going to be away from your TV for the first half of the game, you can get set up for the second half very easily. We’ve put together guides on how to watch Super Bowl 2022 on Roku devices, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation, Xbox, and Android TV, as well as in virtual reality.

YouTube TV rolls out multiview: watch up to 4 NCAA games at once
An example of YouTube TV's multiview feature.

If you love college basketball and can process more than one game at a time, you're going to go bananas for YouTube TV's new multiview feature, which will be rolling out on a limited, early access basis starting March 14.  With multiview, you'll be able to pick up to four channels and see them all simultaneously, with the ability to easily flip the active audio from one to another. The new feature is compatible with any TV-based YouTube TV installations (streaming media players, smart TVs, and game consoles), but it doesn't yet work on mobile devices or computers.

Initially, multiview will only be available to select YouTube TV users, who will be chosen at random. But Google says the goal is to include every subscriber by the time NFL football season starts in the fall. Another limitation, at least for now, is that YouTube TV will preselect the multiview channels you can choose. At launch, only channels that carry NCAA tournament games will be included in that preselected list.
How to use YouTube TV multiview
If you're one of the lucky, randomly chosen users, you'll see an option to watch up to four preselected, different streams at once in your “Top Picks for You” section. After selecting multiview, you can switch audio and captions between streams, and jump in and out of a full-screen view of a game.
It's all about sports
At the moment, YouTube TV sees multiview as an enhancement of the sports viewing experience, so only sports content will be eligible. YouTube TV has had some big sports wins in 2022, including 4K coverage of the Soccer World Cup, and that trend will continue in 2023 thanks to its acquisition of the NFL Sunday Ticket games. However, YouTube TV recently lost access to MLB Network and the MLB.tv add-on, which reduces the amount of sports content available for multiview in 2023.
