Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream TV Listings – Sunday, February 7

What is the Super Bowl?

Here is a full guide on how you will watch the Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream online or cable TV.

For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years, the Super Bowl or the big game is the championship game of the National Football League of the USA.

It is played between the respective champions of the AFC – (American Football Conference) and the NFC – (National Football Conference). Every year the event is held on the first Sunday of February.

It attracts one of the largest television viewership for an annual sporting event second only to the UEFA Champion’s League Final. The 2020 edition, Super Bowl LIV for example attracted an average television viewership of 102 million.

The Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream is touted to be one of the most highly awaited games of the year. The winner of the Super Bowl is considered to be the de facto world champions due to the lack of any competition or counter-claims.

Super Bowl LV: Important Details

• Super Bowl LV Kick-off time – 6:30 PM Eastern Standard Time

How to Score Super Bowl Tickets

The Super Bowl tickets are highly coveted and getting a ticket to the big game is close to impossible for average fans. The NFL distributes the majority of the tickets to the 32 contending NFL teams which mostly goes to the players, staff, and their friends and family.

The remaining is divided between NFL partners, sponsors, and media. A small percentage of the tickets are available bundled along with various hospitality packages provided by NFL On Location or other third party vendors.

These packages include entry to exclusive pre-game and post-game events, the player meets and fan interactions, hotel stay, food and drink for the duration of stay, etc.

Tickets are distributed to the various NFL teams as follows:

• 17.5% to the NFC Champion
• 17.5% to the AFC Champion
• 5% to the host team
• 34.8% distributed among the remaining 29 teams i.e. 1.2% per team

The majority of these tickets go to the players, staff, and their friends and family. The remaining tickets are given via lottery to some of the holders of the respective teams’ season tickets.

Official NFL On Location ticket packages can be bought here.

Tickets can also be scored from the secondary market which consists of tickets sold by other people. The tickets obtained through this method are several times more expensive than the original ticket face value.

Online platforms like SeatGeek and StubHub work by connecting Super Bowl ticket buyers with those who want to sell their primary tickets for some other reasons.

Last year the average ticket resale prices were up to ten times that of the original ticket face value. The bottom line though is that the tickets for the Super Bowl LV will be very difficult and/ or very expensive to obtain.

How Can I Watch the Super Bowl at Home?

Keeping in mind the COVID 19 pandemic and the limited number of seats available at the Ray Jay Stadium most fans will have to watch the big game from their own homes or local sports bars.

The 2021 edition of the Super Bowl will be televised by Viacom CBS Network under the current rotation as per the agreement between CBS, NBC, and Fox Networks.

The Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream is expected to have a much television viewership than any previous Super Bowl. This prediction is a result of the worldwide pandemic and ensuing remote employment of the majority of the workforce.

The Super Bowl also attracts television’s most expensive and creative advertisements due to its extraordinarily high viewership. It costs 5.6 million dollars to books an advertisement slot of 30 seconds at Super Bowl LIV.

To put things into perspective, the average cost for a 30 second nationally aired advertisement in the United States was $115,000 in 2019 according to a Statista report.

The Super Bowl LV Live Stream can be watched in many ways such as a cable subscription, over the top streaming services, official NFL Game Pass subscription, at a local sports bar, or through third party piracy websites and/ or apps.

An added perk is that DAZN is the only official streaming service in Canada that has the rights to show the UEFA Champion’s League and the English Premiere League finals.

Superbowl Live Stream VPNs and Why You Should Get Them

The Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream and NFL games, in general, are highly geographically controlled and many people outside the USA, Canada, Australia Mexico, and parts of Europe can’t easily watch the Super Bowl from their homes.

Many of you must be familiar and fed up with the infamous ‘This content is not available in your region’ and the even more infamous ‘This video has been blocked due to government guidelines in your region.’

Using a Virtual Private Network or VPN as it is more commonly called, is a simple yet effective way of getting around the geographical limitation of web services.

Netizens regularly use VPNs to change their cyber location in order to view foreign content on OTT platforms such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu and FuboTV, etc.

Users from countries where the internet is severely restricted; Youtube and many Google services among others are banned in China, social media is banned in Eritrea and Saudi Arabia, and the internet is heavily censored in North Korea, etc.)

VPNs have many more uses apart from helping you to bypass geographical content restrictions; they help you protect your anonymity while surfing the web, they prevent your IP address from being logged whenever you use torrenting software.

They protect you from snooping on untrustworthy Wi-Fi hotspots and many more. In today’s world, buying a VPN plan can be an excellent investment if you regularly use the internet.

Especially if you browse shady websites like torrenting websites, piracy websites, and the like.

There are many different VPNs available on the internet; some of them are free to download and a few of them needs subscription.

Most of them can be used to view American or UK or any other location’s content from anywhere in the world.

From the vast multitude of VPNs available out there we have handpicked a select few which are reliable, fast, and recommended by us.

• ProtonVPN:

ProtonVPN is undoubtedly the best free VPN out there. It is brought to you the same company that built the ultra-secure encrypted e-mail service ProtonMail.

Proton Technologies is based out of Switzerland. As a result, all your data is protected by extensive Swiss privacy laws. This is probably the VPN service you should take if you only want it to watch the Super Bowl 2021 Live Stream.

However, it is recommended that you use a VPN service to protect your online privacy. In addition to unblocking content restrictions on streaming services.

If you want higher internet speeds, ProtonVPN has a paid option too that provides additional privacy features and higher speeds.

ProtonVPN has servers in the United States, Mexico, Canada, UK, and 51 other countries so you can stream the Super Bowl with ease.

For streaming at higher resolutions, you should preferably have the premium version or one of the paid VPNs below.

• Surfshark VPN:

This is one of the best VPNs with a clean interface on the market these days. Surfshark VPN has very fast speeds however it charges you close to $13 per month.

It also allows you to use its servers from 57 different countries including the US and the UK.

• Mullvad VPN:

This is another highly rated VPN service. It is somewhat cheaper compared to the remaining VPNs on this list and requires you to pay €5 a month.

Mullvad VPN also has servers in most of the North America Europe. Mullvad VPN operates out of Sweden and it too boasts of an impressive privacy policy.

• ExpressVPN:

ExpressVPN is arguably the best premium VPN in the market today. It delivers the complete package of speed, military grade security, configurable privacy features and, most importantly, great reliability.

This service bills you $12 a month but it is absolutely worth it. ExpressVPN removes almost all geo-blocks and content restrictions including those of FuboTV, Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus and more.

Even if you aren’t very tech-savvy, chances are that you’ve probably heard of NordVPN; what with all the advertisements and sponsorship deals.

It is the most recognizable VPN brand in the world and has the performance to boot. This service also bills you $12 each month but gives you substantial discounts for longer plans.
