Super Bowl LX is today, and there is a way for U.S. viewers to watch for free. Our instructions below are focused on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, but this method will of course work across a variety of devices.

2026's Super Bowl has the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the kickoff time scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time / 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. These two teams already met in the 2015 Super Bowl, which ended in a Patriots championship.

The big game is airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock Premium today.

One way to stream the 2026 Super Bowl for free on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV in the U.S. is to sign up for a free 30-day trial to Walmart+, which includes free access to Peacock Premium's ad-supported tier.

You can sign up for a Walmart+ trial online.

Next, here is how to activate free, ad-supported Peacock Premium via Walmart+:
  • Sign into your Walmart account.
  • Go to your Account page.
  • Select Walmart+.
  • Find Peacock Premium in the Benefits Hub.
  • Select Get Peacock.
  • Log in or create your streaming service account.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to finish setting up your account.
  • Build your profile and start streaming.
Then, you can sign in to your Peacock account tied to Walmart+ in the Peacock app on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. On the Mac, you can sign in on the Peacock website. As mentioned, these are Apple-focused instructions, but they apply to many other devices too.

In addition to the Super Bowl itself, you can watch the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, featuring Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny.

Do not forget that a Walmart+ subscription automatically renews after the 30-day free trial.

I'll just watch it for free using my over the air antenna 🙂.

Unless you are in real rural area, you can generally pick up a lot of channels.

Yeah. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just to watch on a tiny screen (aside from AppleTV).

I haven’t watched the SB in years so it’s not that important to me, but the local OTA NBC affiliate’s HDR broadcast should be spectacular if it is anything like it was during the last Olympics.

I‘m not looking for a New England. For nothing handegg related at all, really.

Cheers from the other side of the pond

It's really not a hand egg, though. Those silly British invented this Imperial system, based upon the King's foot. Why we still use it here is a whole other matter that goes a bit deeper than 'Murican traditions.... But you see, the "football" is named for being one foot in length, because we don't exactly play the sport with our feet. It was derived from the British rugby football, which is also one foot in length.

And you know what else is amusing? In the Imperial system of measures, a "hand" is 4 inches. The other type of football that you know, the round soccer kind, is typically about 8 inches in diameter. So we could call it a two-hand ball, if naming it by the same logic as our American football.

Most of us who work in any scientific, engineering or tech filed all use metric here. The metric system has been nationally required as part of school curriculum for nearly 60 years. Any of us who travel regularly or communicate with others beyond our own little bubble wish that we would just switch fully to Metric and be done with it. Wouldn't be a big deal, mostly just new road signs being phased in over time. Our country was all set to convert to Metric in 1974, but at the last minute a handful of luddites in Congress derailed the legislation to convert us citing three reasons: It would be too difficult for Americans that are not familiar with the Metric system already. It's not our tradition. Pocket calculators now exist and make conversions easy. But I get it, old habits die hard... Always amuses me when in the UK and so many rural roads are still marked in miles and people still talk about their weight in stones.

I'm sure I'll hear fireworks so I don't really need to watch any of these. Less traffic on the road is also a good thing.

Do people not know what an antenna is? Get a cheap $15 one from Walmart, you get all the free local games that you want.

Problem is, HD broadcasts are significantly limited by terrain, and SD is... well, SD. Not everyone lives within a few miles of the broadcast antennas.

yeah thanks but no thanks. I already have Paramount+ through Walmart for Landman, Tulsa King etc. Zero interest in ditching that for Peacock. Pretty sure I can find a stream somewhere anyway.
