The Super Bowl is upon us, with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
The game starts at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS. You can watch a live stream of the game on the CBS Sports app or CBS Sports website, but we’re going to give you some more options because the CBS Sports app has been a bit unreliable in the past (and may be overloaded), and it’s unclear if that stream will have the normal commercials or halftime show.
As such, here are other ways you can watch a live stream of the Chiefs vs Bucs for free, with all options guaranteed to have pre-game coverage, Super Bowl commercials and the halftime show:

Super Bowl LV Preview
The most unusual Super Bowl week in NFL history has arrived, with the game taking on a different feel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the festivities leading up to the game have been minimized, there will still be plenty of fans in the stadium for game day.
There are 25,000 people expected to be in attendance, around 7,500 of those being vaccinated health care workers who were given free tickets by the NFL.
For the Bucs, that could mean a slight home-field advantage, thanks to the game being played in their home Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay is the first team to play the big game in their home stadium.
There will be some changes to a normal game in Tampa, with the Bucs not able to use their traditional “Fire the Cannons” celebration.
“The Super Bowl is a neutral-site game, and each year we equitably incorporate elements unique to home games of both participating clubs,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN. “As a result, the cannons will not fire in the same fashion as at a traditional Buccaneers home game. Cannon fire will be heard when the Buccaneers are introduced, and should they win, the cannons will fire loud and long at Raymond James Stadium and throughout Tampa Bay.”
That being said, the Bucs do have the advantage of sleeping in their own beds and having a little easier time with COVID issues that arise when travellng.
“I’m happy I’m in my own bed. I’m happy I’m eating good stuff at home. I’m happy I had extra time to prepare. I don’t have to travel, don’t have to pack my clothes, pack up all my other crap. It’s our own locker room, our own practice field. In the end, there’s some real positives to take from it,” Brady told the media this week.
This is Brady’s 10th Super Bowl, but unlike any of him previous appearances, seeing as this time he’s sporting different colors. Former quarterback turned CBS announcer Tony Romo went as far to call the matchup a “legacy game.”
“Brady, I promise you, shuts the door if he wins this game,” Romo said. “There’s almost no way you could ever argue, if Tom Brady at 43 years old, turning back Father Time, beating Patrick Mahomes … the only guy who could possibly climb the ladder.
“If Tom Brady closes that in this game, I just don’t see some human being ever competing in 10 Super Bowls, winning seven, and being able to say you’re better than Tom Brady.
“This game is a legacy game. If Patrick Mahomes wins, he keeps that door open. If he loses, I don’t know how you climb it.”
The Chiefs and 3-point favorites for the matchup, with the total set at 56 points.
