This year Tubi proves the best place on Roku to experience the Super Bowl as it's streaming the entire broadcast for free — in 4K to boot! You are required to sign up using a valid email address, but aside from that there are no strings attached. What more could you ask for?

Tubi's an excellent streaming platform with hours of content to enjoy all completely free — you just need a valid email address to watch the Super Bowl 2025 livestream.

Sling Blue is also an excellent choice for those looking to watch the Super Bowl for less, as the package starts at just $46 a month — with half off your first month. While Sling Blue will give you Fox Sports broadcasts in 4K, it's only available in select markets. So make sure you have access to Fox Sports via Sling in your zip code before signing up, as it is the cheapest cable alternative for watching Super Bowl 2025 in 4K on Roku.

Another great way to experience Super Bowl LIX in 4K, especially for international fans, is the Fubo app from Roku's app store. It's nowhere near the cheapest option, as plans with a 4K stream start at $94.99. But for its premium price point, you get 295 channels, unlimited cloud DVR, 4K streaming and you can even watch content on up to 10 screens at once. Like other platforms, there's a 7-day free Fubo trial available, so if you time things right you could watch the Super Bowl for free on Fubo. Just don't forget to cancel your subscription at the end of your free trial.

Fubo Elite

The platform is currently running a promotion offering a subscription cost of $69.99 per month for the first six months, then it bumps to $82.99 every month thereafter.

If you're looking to stream the game in 4K, you'll need to spring for its 4K Plus add-on that's an extra $9.99 per month. If you haven't already signed up for the add-on, you can actually try it for free right now for 30 days.

Like most cable TV alternatives, YouTube TV offers a seven-day free trial to get you through the big game. Sign up when you download the YouTube TV Roku Channel.

Super Bowl 2025 on Roku in 1080p

Finally, If you don't mind watching the Super Bowl in 1080p HD Hulu with Live TV is a great option. It's a remarkable value proposition, offering you over 85 channels, Hulu (with ads), Disney Plus (with ads) and ESPN Plus (with ads) all for $82.99 a month. The major kicker, though, is that Hulu's live offerings tap out at 1080p HD, meaning you won't be able to experience this year's Super Bowl in 4K using the service.
