In addition to broadcasting thousands of hours of the Olympics over the next two weeks, NBC is also set to air another one of the biggest sporting events of 2026: the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LX is tonight, Feb. 8, and the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are set to face off for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Obviously the easiest way to tune in to the Super Bowl is to just turn your TV on and flip the channel over the NBC, but in the era of cord-cutting and having a roster of streaming services, figuring out how to watch NBC live could be a major problem in itself.
While there are a bunch of live TV streaming services that carry NBC, Peacock (as an NBC-owned streamer) is streaming the Super Bowl for all subscribers at no additional cost beyond the (low) monthly fee.
Wondering how to stream the Super Bowl on Peacock? Keep reading for all of the A’s to your Q’s.
Super Bowl 2026 start time
Super Bowl 2026 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET tonight, Feb. 8.
How to watch Super Bowl 2026 on Peacock
One streaming option for cord-cutters to watch the Super Bowl is NBC’s Peacock streaming service.
Peacock has two subscription plans: Peacock Premium ($10.99/month) and Peacock Premium Plus ($16.99/month). The main difference between the two plans is that Premium Plus is ad-free, but since commercials are a crucial part of the Super Bowl experience, we recommend going with the lower-priced ad-supported plan.
Once you have a Peacock subscription, you’ll have at least one month to take advantage of everything the service has to offer, including the Winter Olympics (running now through Feb. 22), the NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 15, best picture nominee “Bugonia” and the show everyone’s talking about right now, “The Traitors.”
Does Peacock have a free trial?
Unfortunately, Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial. However, Peacock Premium is included in all Instacart+ memberships and Instacart+ offers a two-week free trial.
