It’s time to gear up for Super Bowl LVIII, which will be played today at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The NFL experienced its biggest TV ratings since 2018 this season thanks to exciting storylines and game play from teams such as the San Francisco 49ers, the Miami Dolphins, the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs. And, of course, there were all those Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift sightings.

The San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LVIII. You won’t want to miss a moment of the game, the pre-show or the halftime show. Here’s how and when to watch Super Bowl LVIII, especially if you want to watch without cable. 

Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.

Watch the 2024 Super Bowl live with a digital HDTV antenna

You can watch the 2024 Super Bowl, locally aired NFL games, MLB and college sports on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDYC channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.

Anyone living in partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch college football without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).

This amplified digital antenna can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox, Univision and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It received signals 360 degrees and delivers a high-quality picture in 4K, UHD and 1080 HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 16-foot digital coax cable.

Who’s performing at the NFL Super Bowl halftime show?

Eight-time Grammy Award winner Usher will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. Usher previously appeared as a guest in the Super Bowl XLV halftime show, which was headlined by the Black Eyed Peas. Usher told CBS News performing at the Super Bowl is a moment he’s waited for his entire life. The superstar was handpicked by Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation has executive produced the show since partnering with the NFL in 2019.

What is the Nickelodeon 2024 Super Bowl broadcast?

For the first time in history, the Super Bowl will be broadcast in two different formats. In addition to the CBS 2024 Super Bowl broadcast, the game will be simulcast on Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon’s family-friendly version of Super Bowl LVIII will feature virtual-reality graphics and Nick characters in the game broadcast. The kid-themed Super Bowl LVIII broadcast comes on the heels of “Nickmas”, the NFL’s Christmas Day broadcast on Nickelodeon during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game.

You may not see Taylor Swift on the Nickelodeon Super Bowl 2024 broadcast, but fans can expect to see SpongeBob SquarePants at the game.
