It's Super Bowl time! It's your last chance to watch real
football for the next seven months. As such, we have compiled a number of
football games for you to check out on iOS, and have helpfully found ways for
you to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday on your iOS device.
There are plenty of ways to watch the Super Bowl. You can
watch it on TV (and if you don't have cable, pick up an antenna, all TVs in the
past decade can pick up digital over-the-air signals in HD), you can watch it
online on your computer from NBC Live Online. That should take care of most use
cases. Here's some alternatives, in decreasing order of plausibility.
NBC
Sports Live Extra, Free Thankfully, NBC this year is making the Super
Bowl available to watch through their NBC Sports Live Extra without needing any
kind of cable authentication at all. However, you'll have to watch it through
an iPad, as they don't have rights to stream on a phone. Blame Verizon – they
have the exclusive rights to NFL Mobile on phones. But just fire up the app,
and you can watch the pregame coverage and the game through the app. The
commercials won't be airing through the app – there's royalty issues involved –
but you can catch those online,on
that venerable football hotspot, Tumblr.
NFL,
Free If you have Verizon, then the NFL Mobile app is your friend if
you need to watch on an iPhone. It's included with certain plans, otherwise
you'll need to purchase NFL Mobile Premium for your account. You will be able
to watch the Super Bowl through the NFL Mobile app on your phone with that
Premium subscription. You'll also get NFL Network, so you can catch the
post-game coverage on their channel.
NFL
Game Pass (Non-US link): The options I've mentioned have been for the
US. If you're outside the US or Mexico, you can get the NFL Game Pass for $9.99
to watch the Super Bowl on your phone. If you are in the US, you may be able to
find a way to get
around it for your computer, but good luck on your iPhone.
The nutty, external hardware solutions: You can buy a device
like an HD Home Run, which can
pick up over-the-air signals and beam them to a DLNA-compatible video feed,
which you can pick up through third-party apps like InstaTV Pro [Free].
Or you could rig up a solution with a Slingbox. At worst, you could pick up a
cheap Windows or Android tablet and tether it to your iPhone and watch the game
that way, to get around the NFL restrictions, if you really need to watch on
the go and don't have an iPad.
