For live streaming on television, the Super Bowl 2026 will be broadcast on NBC. As reported by USA Today, Mike Tirico (play-by-play), alongside Cris Collinsworth, the network’s top NFL commentary team, will be on the call with Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung, both of whom will be reporting from the sidelines.
But what about the cord-cutting streamers? Well, don’t worry, we got you: Fans can also stream this upcoming Super Bowl on multiple platforms, including Peacock, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, NFL+, and Hulu + Live TV.
As mentioned before, the live show will kick off from 6:30 p.m. ET. At the same time, fans must remember that all the pregame festivities take place throughout the day. So if you want to catch things like the national anthem, team introductions, and the coin toss, among other things, you might want to tune in earlier to not miss anything.

This time around, the Super Bowl spectacle will kick off with singer-songwriter Charlie Puth performing the national anthem alongside Fred Beam, a Deaf music artist (via CBS Sports). His performance will notably mark the first of several musical acts during Super Bowl 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
That’s an epic chance for the artist and producer, 34, considering how he will be following in the footsteps of New Orleans native Jon Batiste, who performed the national anthem last year in the Big Easy.
Before Puth, though, punk rock band Green Day will be kicking off the night with a performance during the Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony. This will be followed by Puth vocalizing The Star-Spangled Banner. Also joining them with their presence at the field will be Brandi Carlile, set to sing America the Beautiful with Julian Ortiz, and Coco Jones, who will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing with Beam.

Super Bowl 2026 will feature a lot of star-studded performances, and this year around, fans have something really epic to look forward to: Bad Bunny‘s halftime show. What’s even more iconic is that he will notably be the first solo Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show. There’s nothing known yet about who could possibly be joining him, though he did get a bit of flak for this gig.
Unfortunately, though, like other halftime performers before him, Bunny hasn’t been too vocal about sharing too many details about the show. During a recent interview with Apple Music Radio hosts Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden, he said about what fans can expect from his upcoming performance (via Billboard),
I just want people to have fun. It’s going to be a huge party, what people can always expect from me. Of course, a lot of my culture. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but it’s going to be fun! I know I said people have four months to learn Spanish, but no, just come ready to dance.
Well, that’s for sure. But when will his performance come around? Likely around sometime between 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET. This is because the event is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the average NFL game lasts about 3 hours, split into four 15-minute quarters (with many interruptions in between), two before halftime and two after.

At this year’s Super Bowl, the AFC champions, the New England Patriots, and the NFC champions, the Seattle Seahawks, are expected to clash on the field on Sunday. The Patriots will notably face the Seahawks in an exciting Super Bowl XLIX rematch from 2015.
However, this season, sophomore quarterback Drake Maye has successfully garnered the Patriots‘ hype, while the Seahawks are making headlines for their top-rated defense. And, following the very relatable common phrase “defense wins championships,” it sounds like the Seahawks that leverage heading into Super Bowl LX.
