Live Blogging of NBC’s Super Bowl Stream Across 25+ Devices and OTT Platforms

I’m all set to live blog the Super Bowl LX stream on Sunday across more than 25 devices and platforms, detailing the quality, latency, and other technical details across three ISPs. I’ll start blogging at 4 pm ET. Below is a list of all the platforms and devices I will be testing, along with details about my setup. I also have a special DAZN account so I can watch the stream internationally. [You can see my 2025 Super Bowl coverage here]

NBC Sports’ stream of Super Bowl LX will require Peacock’s premium plan (as is the case for all their live sports) and will be available on the NBC Sports website and app, with authentication via pay TV credentials. Peacock doesn’t offer free trials, so anyone who wants to stream the Super Bowl on Peacock will need to pay for an account. The game will be streamed in upscaled 4K HDR. The game will also be available via OTA and will be broadcast on Telemundo and Universo. If there is anything you want me to test, please put it in the comments on this LinkedIn Post.

In most countries outside the US, DAZN will stream the Super Bowl via NFL Game Pass International. While the Super Bowl will also stream from vMVPD services, Fubo is currently in a carriage dispute with NBCU, so the game won’t be on Fubo unless they hash out a deal in time.

NBC Sports has deployed 22 mobile units from NEP Group, 145 cameras, 130 microphones, 75 miles of cable, and a team of more than 700 employees on-site.

For reference, here is a breakdown of streaming viewership for previous Super Bowl webcasts, but don’t go by the graphic alone. There are many differences across the years in how viewership was measured. See this post for a complete breakdown: Super Bowl Streaming Viewership Numbers From 2014-2025.Here’s a breakdown of what I will be testing, along with more details on my setup:
