Super Bowl live stream 2025: How to watch NFL championship game online from anywhere
Is this the year the Bills finally lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
Super Bowl 2025 is approaching fast, with the cream of the AFC and NFC dreaming of a date with destiny at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. The Chiefs currently hold the No.1 seed in the former, ahead of the Bills, while it's a dead heat between the Eagles, Lions and Vikings in the latter.
Ready the big game? Here's how to watch Super Bowl LIX from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!
The 2025 Super Bowl live stream takes place on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
► Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. GMT / 10:30 a.m. AEDT (Mon)
• U.S. — Watch on FOX via Sling or Fubo

The Super Bowl 59 contenders won't be locked in until January 26, but the five teams listed above are the standout contenders.
The Chiefs haven't really played well at all this season, but four Super Bowl appearances and three titles in six years has given them an aura. A late-season ankle injury for Patrick Mahomes has, however, raised their rivals' hopes, one in particular.
The Bills have been eliminated by the Chiefs in three of the past four seasons, but the MVP award is already earmarked for Josh Allen — is this the year they finally lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the first time in their history?

How to watch Super Bowl 2025 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching Super Bowl LIX on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see why its one of our best VPN services.
There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. In short, it's a great choice for watching sports – particularly the Super Bowl – safely and from wherever you are.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're visiting the U.S. and want to view your usual free Aussie service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the Super Bowl. Head to 7Plus and watch the Super Bowl live stream.
