If you’re searching “What channel is Super Bowl LX on?” the answer is simple: Super Bowl LX airs live on NBC and streams on Peacock on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026 from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Kickoff is around 6:30 p.m. ET.

(Updated Feb. 8, 2026, 4:02 p.m. ET)

Below is the cleanest, lowest-stress way to watch—whether you have cable, you’re streaming, or you’re going full “no lag” with an antenna.


Watch Super Bowl LX on TV (NBC)

NBC is the U.S. broadcast channel for Super Bowl LX.

If you already get NBC through cable/satellite, you’re set. But if you want the most dependable setup—especially if you’re hosting a watch party—an over-the-air antenna (free) is still one of the best options because it’s a straight local broadcast signal.

Quick game-day tip: If you’re using an antenna, do a channel scan earlier in the day so you’re not scrambling at 6:20 p.m.


Stream Super Bowl LX (Peacock)

If you’re a cord-cutter, Peacock is the official streaming home for the NBC broadcast this year.

Here’s the detail that matters: you’ll need a Peacock plan that includes sports (Premium/Premium Plus in Peacock’s current lineup).

“Is it on Paramount+?”

Not this year. Paramount+ aligns with CBS years, while Super Bowl LX is an NBC year with Peacock as the main streaming option.


Live TV streaming services (NBC in your market)

You can also watch through a live TV streaming service if it carries your local NBC affiliate. That “local NBC” piece is the biggest Super Bowl Sunday gotcha—market-by-market gaps still happen.

Big warning: Fubo is a risky choice for NBC right now

If your plan is “I’ll just use Fubo,” double-check before kickoff. Fubo’s own support page says NBCUniversal networks have not been on Fubo since Nov. 21, 2025 (5 p.m. ET). That can impact access to NBC and other NBCU channels.

Bottom line: if you’re trying to guarantee NBC on a live TV streamer, verify your specific ZIP code/local affiliate inside the app well before game time.


How to avoid the two most common streaming problems (local NBC + lag)

If you’re streaming (Peacock or a live TV app), the two problems people run into are:

  1. They don’t actually have the local NBC feed in their market

  2. They get buffering or noticeable delay

A few practical fixes that usually help:

  • Use Ethernet if you can (wired > Wi-Fi)

  • Reduce congestion (pause downloads, other streams, game updates on multiple TVs)

  • Watch on a dedicated device (Roku/Fire TV/Apple TV) instead of casting from a phone


Will Super Bowl LX be in 4K?

Some coverage this year is being promoted in 4K HDR on NBC, but availability depends on your provider/device and which feed you’re using. If 4K is the priority, check your TV/device settings and your provider’s Super Bowl listing ahead of time.


Spanish-language options (Telemundo / Universo)

If you want Spanish-language coverage, Super Bowl LX is listed for Telemundo and Universo in addition to the main NBC broadcast.


Pregame coverage: when does it start?

If you’re doing an all-day Super Bowl setup, you’ll have plenty to watch before kickoff. Peacock’s Super Bowl hub lists all-day coverage starting at noon ET, and NBC Sports has also pointed to pregame coverage beginning at noon.


What time is the Super Bowl? (all major U.S. time zones)

Super Bowl LX kickoff is around 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026.

Most-searched time zones:

  • ET: 6:30 p.m.

  • CT: 5:30 p.m.

  • MT (Denver): 4:30 p.m.

  • PT: 3:30 p.m.

One helpful party-planning reminder: broadcasts often say “6:30 p.m. ET,” but the actual kick can land a few minutes after due to open/ceremonies and timing.


Quick “what should I do?” cheat sheet

  • Most stable / lowest lag: NBC with an antenna

  • Easiest legal stream: Peacock

  • Cable-like stream: a live TV streamer that guarantees your local NBC

  • Avoid a last-minute surprise: don’t assume Fubo has NBC right now
