Kickoff starts at 18:30 EST / 15:30 PST / 23:30 GMT, so make sure you have your wings, popcorn, and streaming service ready to go. The Cincinnati Bengals return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1988, but they face asteep competition in the Los Angeles Rams. Fans worldwide can watch this game live online from anywhere, including abroad in most countries.

Please note that we will only be recommending official sources. The Super Bowl is a commonly-pirated event, despite easy access. Illegitimate and unlicensed Super Bowl streams are typically offered on sites that carry potentially malicious advertisements and are often very laggy with poor video streaming quality. Super Bowl LVI (56) will be available from official sources for free and in HD, meaning there’s no need to turn to unlicensed and poor-quality video streaming options.

The Super Bowl 2022 game will only be available through region-locked streaming sources. To watch the game for free in most countries or while traveling abroad outside the US, you’ll likely need a VPN connection to access your home services.

How to watch Super Bowl LVI free online with a VPN

If you’re in the US, UK, or Australia, you’ll be able to easily stream Super Bowl LVI (56) online through dedicated services. However, if you’re traveling or living abroad, a VPN may be necessary to unblock free US or UK-based live streams. A VPN may help you unblock both free and paid streaming options in different countries. To use a VPN for Super Bowl LVI live streaming, follow the steps below:

Here’s how to live stream the Super Bowl 2022 online from anywhere:

1. Start by signing up for a virtual private network VPN service. We recommend NordVPN, but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are trustworthy and low-cost alternatives.
2. Download the VPN application onto the device you plan to stream Super Bowl 56.
3. Connect to a VPN server in either the US, UK, or Australia, depending on which streaming source you’re using.
4. Connect to the streaming option you plan to use while connected to your VPN server.

Super Bowl LVI (56) will be a live broadcast, although on-demand streams will likely be available for replay later. If you plan to watch live, however, and need easy and free access, a VPN is going to be your best option if you’re in a location where free streams are unavailable. We recommend testing your VPN prior to kickoff to ensure you have an effective connection and content blocking bypass.

How to watch Super Bowl LVI on US TV

Super Bowl broadcast networks change every year. This time around, you can stream all of the action on NBC. This means that US fans with an over-the-air antenna can watch Super Bowl LVI live, for free, and in HD.  However, many fans likely won’t or can’t just go buy and install an OTA antenna for watching the Super Bowl.

In that case, your best bet is to sign up for Peacock. While this service is free, it’ll only be broadcasting the Super Bowl to paid subscribers. You can watch with ads for $4.99 USD per month, or $9.99 for a mostly ad-free experience.

If you’re already subscribed to fuboTV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, or Hulu + Live TV, you can use your login details to access a live stream on the NBC website. Most of these services include a trial period, so you can effectively stream the Super Bowl for free as long as you remember to cancel afterward.

If you’re abroad, you may be able to use these services with a VPN. A US payment method will be required.  We recommend NordVPN, which offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be able to get a full refund after the game.

How to watch Super Bowl 56 in Australia

Once again, the Super Bowl will be available, free of charge, on 7Mate. This means that you can stream it online from 10:00 AEST using 7plus. Note that you will have to create an account beforehand but this only takes a second.

This match will also be shown on ESPN and Kayo. The latter of these services offers a two-week free trial, making it technically possible to watch the Super Bowl free. Still, it’s easier to just use 7plus since that platform doesn’t require payment info.

If you plan to connect to 7plus or Kayo from outside of Australia, a VPN connection to an Australia-based server is required.

How to watch Super Bowl 56 in the UK

Once again, NFL fans in the UK will be able to watch Super Bowl LVI live through the BBC. The BBC has an on-going tradition of broadcasting the ultimate NFL competition for free through BBC One. UK-based sports fans, or anyone trying to connect to a UK stream, can also use the BBC iPlayer through the BBC website, or access the BBC live stream using the TVPlayer.com website.

Important Note: UK law requires a TV License to watch BBC content, either through the BBC iPlayer or other means, including third-party carriers like TV Player. The BBC iPlayer site will require you to either sign in or click to acknowledge that you have a TV License. TV Player does not ask about your TV License status, although a TV License is still implicitly required. Neither site requires verification of a TV License purchase, however. VPNs work with both sites for live streaming.

Brits abroad can still watch BBC iPlayer with a VPN. Most VPNs are blocked by BBC iPlayer however NordVPNworks well at the time of writing.

How to watch Super Bowl 56 in Canada

If you’re in Canada, you can stream the Super Bowl for free on CTV, provided you have a cable subscription. If not, there are a few alternatives. RDS will provide French language coverage, while TSN will offer English commentary. Both services allow you to purchase a one-day pass for $7.99 CAD.

You can also watch through DAZN Canada. However, this is a poor choice as it no longer offers a free trial. In other words, you’ll have to pay $20 CAD for a full month’s subscription.

A Canada-based IP address is required for all of the above services. You can easily get one of these while abroad using a VPN.

How to watch Super Bowl 56 in Germany

ProSieben and Ran.de will be showing Super Bowl 56 for free in Germany. Alternatively, you can watch on Joyn (€6.99 per month with a one-month free trial) or DAZN (€29.99 monthly with no trial).

All of these services employ geographic content blocking, but you can bypass this using a VPN connected to a Germany-based server.

How to watch the Super Bowl on Firestick devices

Your Firestick is going to be one of the best devices to use for the Big Game. You can easily watch Super Bowl 56 on your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick thanks to the available apps and the Silk browser.

If you’re in the US, there are apps available for Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, and YouTube TV, all of which will carry live broadcasts across the US.

If you’re in Canada, you’ll find TSN, RDS, and DAZN apps readily available as well.

Super Bowl 56 Predictions

At the time of writing, the Los Angeles Rams are slight favorites to take Super Bowl 56. Pundits praise the Rams’ ability to pressure opponents into making poor plays, as well as its strong third down performance against the 49ers and Cardinals.

There’s every chance the Bengals could win too, though. Star QB Joe Burrows has already put in a stellar showing this year, and could help seal the team’s first-ever Super Bowl victory. Then there’s the Evan McPherson, the Bengal’s rising star who’s deadly from long range. Whatever happens on the field, it’s sure to be a thrilling match.
