I’m excited to watch Super Bowl LVIII which will be broadcast on CBS. For those looking to watch on a budget like me, Paramount+ is offering a streaming option, and there’s even a free trial available.
You’re all pumped up for the Super Bowl on February 11th, and you’ve gone all out: big-screen TV, killer audio, cold drinks, snacks, appetizers. Slow down there, sports fan — you don’t have to spend that much on your TV service.
Things are a bit complicated this season because Super Bowl LVIII is on CBS. But you can still watch it with Sling TV. You just need to integrate a digital antenna with it. And Sling TV makes that easy to do with special deals.
In a hurry? You can become a Sling Blue subscriber for $40.00/month. If you pay for 3 months ahead of time, Sling will throw in a free digital antenna.

Sling TV’s Sling Blue plan isn’t just a super cost-effective way to watch the NFL, it’s also a great all-around cable replacement for almost all your favorite channels. You can use it to watch a lot of the regular season and about half the playoffs.
Even if you hate football, the Super Bowl is practically an American holiday. The best commercials of the year will appear here first (and maybe only here). Eight-time Grammy award winner Usher will headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The 2024 Super Bowl will be played Sunday, February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kickoff is scheduled for Eastern. It will be televised live on CBS and Univision in Spanish.
How to Watch Super Bowl 2024 on CBS on Sling TV
Sling TV features two base packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, which are each $40.00/month, or $55.00/month for both. Sling Orange has ESPN, which you’d need for Monday Night Football in the regular season. But Sling Blue has FS1.
Watching Other NFL on Sling TV
Regular season and the NFL playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl are a little trickier on Sling TV, but still certainly doable. We cover all your options thoroughly in our guide to watching the NFL on Sling TV, but here’s the short version.
- Thursday Night Football is now on Amazon Prime Video, so you’ll need that in addition to any live TV service you subscribe to (including cable)
- Sunday Night Football is on NBC, which is available on Sling Blue in select markets, or you can use an antenna to pick it up (more on that below)
- Monday Night Football is on ESPN, which is on Sling Orange. Bummer, right? But you can get Sling Orange + Blue for just $55.00/month, which is still cheaper than a cable plan.
- Sunday afternoon games are divided between Fox (NFC games) and CBS (AFC games). Fox, like NBC, is available in select markets, but Sling doesn’t carry CBS at all. So what’s a football fanatic to do?
Fear not, armchair quarterbacks: you do have some options.
To start, CBS live streams on Paramount Global’s streaming service, Paramount+ Premium, which is only $9.99/mo; it’s a perfect complement to Sling’s network offerings.
Similarly, you can watch NBC games on NBCUniversal’s subscription provider, Peacock (Black Friday deal details).
Plus, there are a handful of games that air on ABC but not ESPN, and you can stream those on ESPN3 (which is included with Sling Orange).
Sling TV With HD Antenna
Covering even more bases, there’s always a good old-fashioned antenna. It’s understandable if you thought that they don’t even make them anymore (or, if you’re below a certain age, to know what we’re even talking about.) But you can get a decent HD antenna for around $50 that will get you anywhere from 4 to a dozen or more crystal-clear local channels, all free.
Did we say around $50? Because we almost forgot — if you prepay just two months of Sling TV, they’ll give you an HD antenna 100% gratis.
Sling TV has more deals on devices that work with antennas for folks willing to prepay a few months, and you can check them out in our Sling TV Local Channels review.
NFL RedZone
NFL RedZone is a special channel provided by the NFL that is only on for the seven hours regular season games are being played on Sunday afternoons. Its motto is “every touchdown from every game,” and it basically shows all the most interesting, exciting parts from ALL the games on Sundays, with no commercials or breaks.
NFL RedZone is part of the Sling Blue Sports Extra, an add-on that costs $11/mo ($15/mo if you have Orange + Blue). You can’t get it with just Sling Orange.
Other Live TV Streaming Services
Sling TV is the cheapest service to provide anything close to a cable TV replacement, but it’s certainly not the only game in town. Other services that will give you the Super Bowl (and lots more) include:
- Fubo (formerly FuboTV): $79.99/month for a complete NFL watch-it-yourself toolkit — the most channels, and by far the most sports channels. Also the best service for sporting events in 4K. Fubo review has more information.
- DIRECTV STREAM: All the NFL channels you need, plus regional sports networks to watch other hometown teams, for $86.99/month. More details on our DIRECTV STREAM review.
- Hulu Live: $82.99/month for the channels the others have, including all your favorite places to watch the NFL, plus Hulu, plus ESPN+, plus Disney+. Read more in our Hulu + Live TV review.
- YouTube TV: Comparatively priced to the other big services, and is NFL-ready out of the box. Full Sling TV vs YouTube TV comparison.
All of these services come with the ability to watch on unlimited home devices and DVR storage included.
Devices to Stream the Super Bowl on Sling TV
As one of the oldest and most established streaming services, Sling TV also has some of the broadest streaming device support:

The Eagles are favored to win, but just about everyone agrees that these are the two best teams currently in the NFL, and the result is still very much up in the air.
Wrapping Up
Streaming this year’s Super Bowl on Sling TV can’t be done. But you can use it with a digital antenna to watch OTA.
You can take all that money you’re saving on your TV provider and get even more refreshments for Super Bowl Sunday. Game on.
