So right now I’m living a sports lover’s dream…I write from Glendale, AZ on a TV assignment covering the Super Bowl for a network. It is a thrilling but exhausting assignment and, ironically, even though I am standing LITERALLY right in front of the University of Phoenix dome and will hear the cheers of the fans, I won’t know what’s happening with the game because I won’t’ have access to a TV from my press perch.
So I did some research so that you and I can get in on the Super Bowl, the ads and the fanfare on Sunday without being parked in front of a TV. On your computer, phone or tablet – even on Hulu. Over 100 million others will be watching, so why should we miss out? Imagine the water cooler talk on Monday about the most adored and despised Super Bowl ads this year that we can weigh in on. The ads cost too much to miss anyhow!
On your (Verizon) smartphone – download the NFL Mobile app – Verizon customers who download the app get streaming access to the Super Bowl, the NFL Network and neat little extras including pre-game routines and postgame festivities
On your (non-Verizon) smartphone or tablet – get the NBC Sports Live APP available for iOS, Android and Windows. You’ll be able to watch the game, the halftime show and check scores
On your computer – watch directly on NBC Sports website – Go to the NBC Sports Live website to watch the live stream of the broadcast game and the halftime show right on the website, ideal for computer watching
International fans – if you’re outside the US and Mexico – you can PAY to get access to NFL Game Pass and watch the game and get insider features.
Other options:
Slingbox owners can stream the game to your mobile device via the SlingPlayer APP
Apple TV owners can can AirPlay the NBCSports.com stream and beam it to your tv set or set up AirPlay mirroring and send the NBC stream to your iPhone or iPad
HULU Ad Zone will feature all the must-watch Super Bowl ads, for those of you not interested in the game
