* Super Bowl LIII is this Sunday, February 3
* New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams
* If you don’t have cable, stream the game online for free
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events of the year, and whether you’re planning on throwing a big viewing party or just settling in for some couch action, here’s how to stream the game without cable.
From Rolling Stone:
It all comes down to this: after a season of unpredictable swings and shifts (and a few questionable calls) the 2018 NFL season reaches its finale Sunday with the New England Patriots taking on the Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta.
Kickoff is at 6:30 pm EST / 3:30 pm PST from inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and if you’re looking for tickets to catch the game in person, we’ve spotted decent seats still available through sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats. Vivid Seats says their current “get-in” price is at $2899, while their current median list price is just over $4700. Use the site’s “Super Bowl ticket tracker” (follow it here) to see the latest prices and availability. Vivid Seats guarantees that your tickets will be valid and authentic, or your money back, which makes it one of the better places to look for tickets online. The site will also have its On-Site Services team at the Super Bowl this weekend to personally distribute tickets that need to be picked up on the days leading up to the event.
The Patriots are currently the odds-on favorite to take home the trophy, though the Rams carry the better season record into the game. Maroon 5 will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show (stream their latest album here), with confirmed guests, Travis Scott and Big Boi. Gladys Knight will perform the national anthem, while Atlanta natives and Grammy-nominated sister singing duo Chloe x Halle will sing “America the Beautiful.”

3. Stream on Hulu

Getting started with Hulu Live TV is easy as the site is also offering a 7-day free trial. Start your trial here and cancel at any time.
4. Watch With an Indoor Amplified TV Antenna
Prefer the old-school way of watching the game but too cheap to sign up for cable? Grab this $20 indoor antenna from Amazon, which will pick up your local CBS affiliate (and most other major networks) for free. This super slim model has almost all 5-star reviews online and delivers 1080p HD reception with up to 70 miles of range. In other words: you’re getting a decent picture quality and your connection won’t die out on you midway through a big play. Sure you’re watching TV with an antenna, but this discreet indoor version is still way better than that giant pole or dish you used to set up on your window or roof outside.
