Two years after they last played out the Super Bowl on Fox, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles return to football's biggest stage to – depending on your allegiances – set new records or settle some scores. Whatever happens in New Orleans this Sunday history will be created, and there are plenty of options to watch Super Bowl without cable.

Their previous encounter in 2023 drew in an average US audience of 114 million, making it the most viewed Super Bowl since Tom Brady's Patriots beat the Seahawks eight years prior. The first of a potential threepeat, Patrick Mahomes produced one of the all-time great 4th quarters to drive the Chiefs to a famous come-from-behind victory. Sorry Eagles fans... I know it's still raw!

The mouth-watering prospect of seeing these two franchises do battle once more means that the impressive viewing figures first time round could easily be eclipsed. And with only around 1 in 5 Americans now having a cable package, there will be millions of football fans out there looking for alternatives to live stream Eagles vs Chiefs.

Below I've rounded up all the ways you can watch Super Bowl 2025 without cable, with free options explained, too. From the obvious (using a classic TV antenna) to the obscure (tuning into an overseas free broadcast with a VPN), I've got you covered.

In addition to web browsers and smartphones, the Tubi app is available on a range of devices including Amazon Fire, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Google Nest Hub, PS4 & 5 and Xbox, Roku, and select smart TVs.

The Super Bowl is now such a massive global event that it's shown live in more than 200 countries. Many of them show through the domestic broadcasters' free-to-use streaming services, for example:

If you're from one of those countries but currently find yourself in the US, you can use a VPN to stream your usual Super Bowl coverage as if you were back at home. Equally, if you're away from home and want to access any of the above services, a VPN will definitely help with that, too.

Our favorite of all the VPNs on the market is NordVPN. It allows streaming from pretty much every device you can think of, is incredibly secure and has a great reputation for unblocking geo-restricted streaming services. Plus, there's 24/7 customer support and a 30-day money back guarantee.
