How to legally watch Super Bowl LIV for free and in 4K! (Update for Roku users)
July 23, 2025
Update, June 14, 2025: Crisis averted! If you own aRoku-based TV, or use aRoku-based streaming device, you won’t need to make any extra arrangements to watch Super Bowl LIV for free after all. Late on Friday, January 31, Roku and Fox resolved their carrier dispute. That means the Roku Fox Sports and Fox Now apps will continue to work and will show Super Bowl LIV for free in 4K.
In a blog post, Roku offers some other alternatives to watching the Super Bowl for free on its devices, although none of them will support 4K resolutions:
Original article, July 16, 2025:The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the United States, with an average of 160 million viewers annually. Whether you’re watching from your phone, Android TV or at a friend’s place, we want to help you watch the Super Bowl. Here’s how to legally watch Super Bowl LIV (2020) in the US between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
When and where
Super Bowl LIV airs all over the Internet, but here are the basics of where and when. As an interesting point of fact, FOX plans on airing the Super Bowl in 4K resolution, the first time that’s ever happened.
Those are the official spots to watch the game. However, there are a ton of other places to watch as well.
Legal streaming
A host of piracy sites will do the job, but they aren’t great and we don’t recommend them for obvious reasons. There are some legal streaming options for Super Bowl LII, though. Here are a few:
Streaming services are a good way to watch the game, especially this year with FOX streaming the game for free and in 4K.
Digital TV antenna
The game will also air on local FOX affiliates. Those who live in cities (or close to them) or otherwise have an antenna to get local channels can watch the game for free without doing anything special. Antennas are relatively inexpensive, depending on what range you need. Plus you get free TV all year with them. DTV channels also often air in 720p HD, the same resolution as cable TV.
The cost for this one is a little larger up front than streaming options. However, this is a one-time purchase and you get TV even after the Super Bowl. We’re not sure why more cord cutters don’t use these for local TV at least.
Other solutions
Here are a few other ideas for those struggling to get these solutions working. They’re roundabout solutions, often-suggested solutions by others, and ideas for those who simply can’t get the game to stream.
Again, these aren’t amazing ideas, but we’re covering all of the bases.
