NFL Super Bowl XLVIII between the Denver Broncos and the
Seattle Seahawks officially kicks off this Sunday at 6:30pm ET in
chilly New Jersey, and this year there are a few options for live streaming the
game from your iPhone or iPad. It’s going to be tough to get an official stream
on your iPhone if you’re not a Verizon and NFL subscriber, but all iPad (and
Mac) users will be able to get an official stream of pre-game coverage and the
actual game for free through FOX in the US. Head below for all the info on what
apps will have live streams and the best places to find Super Bowl ads,
replays, and more.
LIVE STREAMS |
FOX Sports GO: One of the only official ways to live
stream Super Bowl XLVIII on your iPad for free is through the FOX Sports Go
app. Fox is going to be hosting the live stream for desktop users on FoxSportsGo.com and will redirect
users to the Fox Sports Go iPad app for a free live stream
available to all from 12am ET Sunday morning to 3am Monday morning.
Unfortunately the stream won’t be available to iPhone users “due to league
restrictions.”
FOX Sports GO will feature two separate live streams of
Super Bowl XLVIII: the customary FOX Sports telecast in English and the FOX
Deportes telecast in Spanish
NFL Mobile: There is one way you’ll be able to access
a live stream of your game from your iPhone. Those “league restrictions” mean
you’ll only be able to grab a live stream on your iPhone through the
official NFL Mobile app. Access to the stream, however, is limited
to Verizon customers that are subscribed to the app’s Premium Features for live
streaming. If you’re not a subscriber, you’ll still be able to use the app to
keep up with scores, highlights and Super Bowl commercials with notifications.
