Everyone’s been waiting for this NFL heavyweight clash, the New England Patriots vs the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Whether you’re watching for the football, the halftime show, or the snacks that somehow disappear before kickoff, here’s your simple guide to watch it in Canada, plus a VPN trick for a smoother (and sometimes cheaper) streaming experience.

This year’s Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is officially headlined by Bad Bunny, and it should start roughly around 8:00 to 8:30 p.m. ET (it varies depending on the pace of the first half). Expect a ~13-minute performance, plus the usual pregame spectacle and postgame confetti moment. If you’re tuning in for the full “Super Bowl experience,” don’t skip the pregame performances, and yes, the commercials are basically part of the event, many viewers watch just for those mini-movie ad drops.
Pregame performances include Charlie Puth (national anthem), Brandi Carlile (“America the Beautiful”), and Coco Jones (“Lift Every Voice and Sing”).
How to watch the Super Bowl in Canada?
In Canada, the game is carried by Bell Media across its networks and streaming platforms.
Here are the main options:
CTV (English, TV): Great if you have traditional TV access (cable, satellite, antenna where available).
TSN (English, TV): Also the home for lots of pregame coverage and analysis.
RDS (French, TV): For the French broadcast.
Streaming on Crave: Available via the live CTV channel on Crave.
TSN+: A direct subscription option for streaming.
DAZN Canada / NFL Game Pass: Another official route, especially popular if you want the “international” style access.
Quality tip (because Super Bowl traffic is wild): a stable connection matters more than peak speed. If you’re aiming for 4K, TSN notes 4K coverage is available for TSN subscribers (device/provider dependent).
Travel tip: Outside Canada during the game? A VPN connected to a Canadian server can help you access your usual Canadian platforms when geo-restrictions get in the way (always check the platform’s terms).
How to watch for free using a VPN?
If you’re trying to watch without adding another subscription, some countries have free-to-air broadcasts. A VPN can help you access those streams when you’re not physically there, depending on broadcaster rules and availability.
Here’s the clean step-by-step:
Pick NordVPN (fast servers help reduce buffering, especially for live sports).
Install the app on phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV device.
Connect to a country with a free broadcast, then open the broadcaster’s site/app.
Two common “free” routes this year:
United Kingdom (Channel 5): Super Bowl LX is broadcast free-to-air in the UK, and Channel 5 promotes it as “live and free.”
Australia (Seven / 7plus): Australia has free coverage via Seven, with streaming on 7plus.
Legal note (keep this in, it’s important): VPNs are legal in Canada, but streaming services can forbid VPN use in their terms, and some actively block VPN traffic. Always follow local laws and platform rules.
How to watch the Super Bowl in other countries
If you’re traveling, these are the quick “where to look” checkpoints:
France: M6 (free-to-air) and beIN Sports are listed as broadcasters.
United States: NBC (TV) with streaming on Peacock (plus other authenticated options).
Mexico: Official broadcaster list includes TV Azteca, Televisa (Canal 5), and FOX Sports Mexico.
Worldwide option: NFL Game Pass on DAZN is positioned as the broad international solution (with exclusions).
Who will emerge victorious in this thrilling showdown?
For New England, QB Drake Maye is the headline, but watch how CB Christian Gonzalez handles Seattle’s top target, and how DT Milton Williams affects the pocket from the inside. For Seattle, QB Sam Darnold and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the big-play axis (JSN led the NFL in receiving yards), and the pass rush led by Demarcus Lawrence and Leonard Williams can change the game without extra blitzing.
On paper, Seattle enters as the favorite. Current betting lines posted by NFL.com (from DraftKings) show:
Spread: Seahawks -4.5
Moneyline: Seahawks -238 | Patriots +195
Over/Under: 45.5
(Lines timestamped Feb 4.)
What that usually means: oddsmakers expect Seattle to control the game, but New England is close enough that one momentum swing, one turnover, one “how did he catch that” moment can flip the whole script.
