Super Bowl 50: A viewer’s guide to Super Bowl Sunday

The 50th Super Bowl is expected to garner crowds of over 100 million viewers across the world, but the thing about it is where and how you can watch the game is very restricted. Be sure to have a consistent bandwidth connection – in some cases a wired connection is best.

And most importantly, don’t worry about missing any ads, because CBS has confirmed that for the first time they will be including advertisements in all of their streams. They can also use the CBS Sports app to stream it to a pretty wide range of connected-TV devices, including Roku set-top boxes, Apple TVs, Google’s Chromecasts and Xbox Ones. With BitVPN you can change your IP location to a U.S. destination, which will allow you to watch the Super Bowl wherever you are.

If you’re an global fan, you’ll have to dive into a paid subscription to NFL Game Pass for $99, or take to the interwebs to find more creative, and less legal ways to mask your actual location.

Super Bowl 50 kicks start on Sunday, 7th February at 15.30 Pacific Time. Here’s how to stream the big game at home over the internet, to whatever device you want to watch on. One new aspect of this year’s Super Bowl stream is the advertisements, which will be aired on the TV broadcast and the online stream in near real-time.

Fortunately, there are some options for watching the big game if you are a Sprint, T-Mobile, Boost, AT&T or another mobile provider. Last year, NBC streamed the game and said streaming viewership had hit 1.3 million concurrent users, with an average of 800,000 viewers per minute. The carrier, which the nation’s biggest by number of subscribers, has an exclusive pact with the National Football League to stream games to smartphones. If you don’t have cable, an antenna can get you the game in HD, for free. Maybe Scott will tell us how many Super Bowls the Jets would have won if Alex Smith had been their quarterback instead of Mark Sanchez. Between all three bars, he estimates they’ll go through 1,500 to 1,600 hundred pounds of wings, most of which will head out the door to Super Bowl parties.
