Cord-cutting, it is commonly known, isn't ideal for sports fans. There are just too many games that require a cable subscription to watch and pirating each one would be too cumbersome. Fortunately for those who want to tune into Superbowl XLVII this weekend, there are a few options that don't require a traditional TV setup.
The Super Bowl will be streamed in its entirety from two main browser-based sources. First, there's NFL Live, which will feature "Road To the Super Bowl" and all the other pre-game programming beginning at 11am EST. The game itself kicks off at 6:00pm. You can also stream the whole thing from CBSSports.com.
The NFL's official mobile app will have a stream available as well, but it looks like you'll have to have a pay TV subscription through Verizon to get it. There are a number of Super Bowl and team-specific apps as well, but there's no indication that any of them will be offering a free stream. We'll certainly update this post if we learn otherwise.
For some, the excitement doesn't come from the play-by-play but rather from the commercial breaks. Thankfully, the world's most expensive television ads will be available online as well. Hulu's Ad Zone will stream the commercials live as they air to all viewers, whether they subscribe to Hulu Plus or not. A Hulu spokesperson confirmed that the service will not be live streaming the game, only the ads.
