Super Bowl LV will be nationally televised on CBS with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo announcing the game, but there are a number of different online and streaming options for viewers without cable television or an over-the-air antenna. The game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, marking the first time in NFL history a team has played the Super Bowl on its home field. Super Bowl LV kicks off Sunday, February 7, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on CBS, but there are plenty of online and streaming options to watch the big game, including some that are 100% free.
Super Bowl LV should be one for the ages, pitting Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the most dominant team of the past three years. The Buccaneers and Chiefs met earlier this year in Tampa, with the Chiefs beating Brady’s Bucs 27–24, but if there’s one stage on which Brady excels, it’s the Super Bowl. The 43-year-old quarterback is seeking his record seventh Super Bowl ring in his staggering tenth appearance, also an NFL record. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs' 25-year-old phenom Patrick Mahomes will be looking to claim back-to-back titles as he becomes the youngest quarterback to appear in consecutive Super Bowls. It was almost three in a row for Mahomes and the Chiefs, but an offside penalty late in the game led to an overtime defeat against Brady’s Patriots in the 2018 AFC Championship Game.
