Super Bowl LVIII is tomorrow, so you should already be thinking about the streaming service that you’ll use to watch the big game. ESPN is one of the most popular sports networks, so if you’re a subscriber of its ESPN Plus streaming service, will you be able to watch Super Bowl LVIII? Read on to find out, as well as to get tips on how to make the Super Bowl LVIII experience even better for you while you stay in the comfort of your own home.

Can you watch the Super Bowl on ESPN Plus?

The final episode of NFL Matchup for the NFL’s 2023-2024 season, which will preview the championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, will be available on ESPN Plus. Unfortunately, it’s not ESPN’s turn this year for broadcasting rights to Super Bowl LVIII, as that honor goes to CBS and its Paramount Plus streaming service. However, if your ESPN Plus subscription is part of the larger deal that includes Disney Plus and Hulu with Live TV, you can watch Super Bowl LVIII through CBS or Nickelodeon on Hulu with Live TV. CBS will air the traditional broadcast of the big game, while Nickelodeon will offer a family-friendly version, complete with slime.

This doesn’t mean that you should ditch your ESPN Plus subscription though. The service gives you ESPN Insider content from ESPN.com, as well as access to certain games from the NFL, NBA, and MLB. ESPN also holds the exclusive rights to UFC pay-per-views, so ESPN Plus will be the only place where you’ll be able to stream them, but at an additional cost per PPV.

With a spot in the DFB-Pokal semifinals on the line, Bayer Leverkusen take on VfB Stuttgart at BayArena today. The winner of this one will surely be favored to lift the trophy in Berlin in May, as every other team in the Top 12 of the Bundesliga has been eliminated. In fact, if FC Saarbrucken can get past Monchengladbach tomorrow, then the winner of this one will be only team left from the Bundesliga, making this one a massive showdown.

The match starts in about an hour, at 2:45 p.m. ET, and will stream live exclusively on ESPN+. That means you can't watch it completely free, but if you're a soccer fan, you'll find that ESPN+ proves to be worth it very quickly.
