Alright, I’ll bite… what’s a Super Bowl? Whether you’re a sports fanatic or a music nerd, chances are you’re at least mildly interested in watching the 2021 Super Bowl and here’s how to do it in Australia.
Whether you’ve got a taste for NFL or you’re chomping at the bit to see the extravagantly expensive half-time show promised by The Weeknd, you’re probably itching to stream the spectacle in the background. So here’s how you can do it.
This year’s Super Bowl will be aired live on both free to air and pay TV. For free-to-air viewers, Channel Seven is your best bet. Their stream kicked off at 10 am with coverage set to run to 4pm. I don’t understand how a single event can produce six-hours of content but whatever, I’ve got no dog in the fight here.
You can also watch the game on ESPN (Foxtel channel 509) for those of you that still have a Foxtel TV subscription, which feels like a relic of days past. ESPN will host half an hour of pre-match coverage, with their post-match analysis wrapping up at 2 pm.
If you’ve completely leaned into streaming, the best way to watch the 2021 Super Bowl in Australia is with a Kayo Sports subscription. A monthly subscription to the service will set you back $25 a month, though if you’ve never signed up before — you might be able to swindle a two-week free trial.
If you can’t be arsed going through the malarkey of offering up your credit card details to yet another streaming service, you can stream the game for free via Seven’s streaming service 7 Plus.
For those most dedicated, you can purchase an NFL Gamepass, the official streaming service of the NFL. A Super Bowl pass costs $34.99, but you’ll be able to access full-match replays.

The 2021 Super Bowl match kicked off at 10:30 am. The Weeknd’s performance will take place at around 12pm, as Billboard report, the performance is set to last a monolithic 24 minutes, instead of the usual 13-minute special.
