CBS is giving everyone the best seat in the house by streaming Super Bowl 2021 free on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app. The latter is available for Apple and Android devices, plus smart TV platforms such as Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV.

FuboTV, CBS Sports and YouTube TV are only accessible to viewers in the U.S. (with a U.S.-based credit card, in some cases). If you're outside the U.S. this Sunday, you'll need to use a VPN to access these services without being blocked.

Watch the Super Bowl without cable using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant NFL rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you're accessing aren't aware of what you're doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we'd suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
