How to Watch Super Bowl LIX Free on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Pretty sure the Fox Sports app will offer the game in 4K unless the deal with Tubi is exclusive??? I don't recall if the requirements for it is a cable subscription or not (I have one) but I've watched plenty of sports shown on Fox in that app and enjoyed the 4K (or perhaps 1080p upscaling to fake 4K). Currently in the schedule within the app, it shows game surrounding programs like "postgame" tagged as 4K, so I'm guessing the game will be too.

It always looks nice & sharp whatever it is. If you have a paid provider, you might install that app and then see later if the game is in 4K.

More important question is how do I stream the puppy bowl?

A friendly reminder to Canadian viewers that TSN will carry the 4K feed on their 4K channel. (Apps don't support 4K streaming)

I can just watch it for free on my TV as a plain old TV broadcast from the local station. No worries about internet hiccups, provider streaming capacity, or WiFi signal quality to muck anything up.

Truth be told, my family is not particularly interested, but we may check the TV from time to time for Super Bowl ads and for …

This one my family will have to resort to streaming to watch. As I understand, it will be on Animal Planet, Discovery, and a couple of others. I read somewhere it will also be available on Max, Discovery+.

Go Bills!

I cut the cable years ago and have a set of rabbit ears that get local broadcasting, would Apple control commercials? I do have a couple streaming subscriptions that I watch but why would I watch through my AppleTV?

What's the catch? There is always a catch...

Fox owns Tubi and is using this to increase installs and user base. They probably want to pump their ad revenues.

Super Bowl viewing for free since when

Well, it’s on broadcast tv so you don’t need a cable subscription. Just a cheap $15 antenna from Walmart.

People only watch the Superb Owl to catch glimpses of Taylor Swift.

Here you go!

No catch. This is Fox moving deeper into the streaming business after the failed launch of Venu, the Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros Discovery sports streaming app.

Fox announced their intentions last week.

Fox plans to launch a streaming service by the end of 2025

Another streaming service is coming.

It's on (HBO) Max since this is an Animal Planet production and Warner Bros Discovery owns Animal Planet.

Super Bowl viewing for free since when

Since forever. I've never watched it on anything other than local broadcast and an antenna.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Yeah, there's no catch

Super Bowl is on network TV (free OTA)

They want as many eyeballs as they can get on all those ADs, and a "MEGA RATING" to be able to talk about when doing future Network & AD negotiations

Tubi app doesn’t download on iPhone 14 Pro Max. Actually no apps download or update whatsoever. New bug introduced in 18.2.1 and persists after multiple restarts and an update to 18.3.

My other device allowed me to download it but then as soon as I launch the Tubi app I get a screen saying “sorry, this device can’t stream Super Bowl LIX”

I guess they just don’t want me to watch it then!

Didn’t you say you found a workaround to that issue already?

 

[grantishere]

Title should be how to watch Americas biggest reality show of the year

 

[iMattPro]

I'll be playing Far Cry 5 instead.

What's the catch? There is always a catch...

Imagine the catch will be more ads than game, and if you don't want that well then pick your subscription...

Otherwise known as Upfront which starts in March/April

It's crazy 30 second Super Bowl ads are going for up to $8 million

Interesting Super Bowl ad cost history -- How much does a Super Bowl commercial cost? Here's the average breakdown since 1967

Apple's CEO Tim Cook, services chief Eddy Cue, and retail chief Deirdre O'Brien have been spotted in the New Orleans area today, ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

Maybe Tim Cook is testing if Siri can predict the game’s outcome. /s

Thanks for the info. Recently installed a beautiful top of the line pool table. Will be playing while watching the game in 4K (not on Tubi).

Why not just tune in to Fox on your TV set?

Why not just tune in to Fox on your TV set?

FOX masters a lot of their major sporting events at 1080p HDR. This master is then sent to two paths: 1) upscaled to 4K for distribution on their online platforms or to cable/satellite providers who can broadcast the 4K signal, or 2) downscaled to 720p for standard HD broadcast distributions

 

[MrRom92]

Didn’t you say you found a workaround to that issue already?

I did, by updating apps individually one at a time, but this stopped working as well. Anything I try to update or install just keeps spinning endlessly. It’s gotten to the point that some apps can no longer be used (like Pizza Hut) because they prompt for an update that can’t be installed.

Hey Siri, analyze the Superb Owl teams and predict the final score.

"Here are some internet search results for spinal s'mores."

And if Siri is not in the mood, she might shut down Tim Cook's devices.
