Like every other sports fan, you'll be gearing up to watch Super Bowl 2021 in just a few short weeks' time. If you're a Sling TV subscriber, you're also probably wondering whether you can catch the final game of the 2020/21 season on Sling TV.
The short answer is: no. Sling TV might be popular amongst cord cutters, but for the Super Bowl, you'll have to try another streaming service this year.
Sling TV only gets local channels in a small number of markets, and even then that's only access to NBC and Fox networks. Since CBS have the broadcast rights to the Super Bowl in 2021, you won't be able to use Sling TV to tune into the big game.
For those of you who want to stream Super Bowl 2021, here are some other platforms we recommend.

CBS is broadcasting the Super Bowl in 2021, and the good news is that it’s available on most streaming platforms but not on Sling TV).

How to watch Super Bowl LV anywhere in the world
If you're not based in the U.S. or will be away from home when Super Bowl LV is on you should rearrange your calendar. Then, you should think about trying out a VPN to ensure you can still catch the biggest game of the season.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) re-routes all your network data through a set of servers somewhere else in the world. This disguises your network connection and makes it appear as if your computer is located in a different place. So, if you picked the United States, you could use your favorite streaming option to catch the big game.
Because you’ll be running all your network activity (encrypted or not) through an additional server, you’ll need to ensure that your data is being handled responsibly and securely. We are fans of ExpressVPN for exactly this reason.
ExpressVPN is one of the easiest and affordable ways to watch whatever shows or movies you want from anywhere you want to watch them. And yes, that means you can also catch the Super Bowl on your favourite streaming service.
And when the big game's over, you can keep using ExpressVPN to ensure your data is secure and to enable you to keep up with all the latest shows no matter where you are.View Deal
