Wow, it’s nearly 3am. So what does it mean if the bars are all closed? Means no pints for anyone, 's what that means… grumble… ---

I am also of the opinion that the only way to watch it legally on the internet is the [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) Website. 25$ is not really cheap but the [NFL](http://plaza.ufl.edu/fabiann/history-nfl.html) Super Bowl is such a great event that I would be willing to pay it. I am already looking forward to Sunday. Hopefully it will be a good game and of course a good show. ---

Heck I can’t even find the part on the NFL website about paying to watch it in the US. Looks like I should have gotten around to buying a TV. Can’t now because it’s snowing out. $25 seems a bit much. ---

> [@Ruken](#): > > Heck I can’t even find the part on the NFL website about paying to watch it in the US. Looks like I should have gotten around to buying a TV. Can’t now because it’s snowing out. $25 seems a bit much. [Here.](https://gamepass.nfl.com/nflgp/secure/registerform) It’s not just for that one game. Apparently, this was available all season long. $25 was for (I think) a month of games. Now it’s just for the one. FWIW I’m taking **PatriotGrrrl’s** suggestion and attending the London American expat Super Bowl party. 1500 rowdy Americans crammed into a smallish venue, united by alcohol and colored shirts? This is football the way God intended. ETA: Now that I’m looking a bit closer, it really doesn’t say anywhere that this includes the game itself. There’s a possibility that it’s only for the archive and whatever the NFL network happens to show on that day. Is the Super Bowl broadcast on the NFL network? Anyway, buyer beware and all that. ---

> [@A\_Spoonful\_of\_Awesome](#): > > ARRGH! There goes my backup plan.

If I can’t find any means of watching online, are there any NFL fans out there in London who might know where I could possibly watch the game? I’m here visiting a special lady friend and, apart from not actually owning a television (which I applaud), she does not in any way understand my obsession with (American) football and need to watch its biggest game. > > I’m also open to alternative suggestions, (barely) short of flying back to the States for the weekend. You should probably look at the tv schedule: BBC 1 is showing the whole thing between 2300 and 400. That is if you don’t want to the parties that are mentioned above. You might even be able to watch it online on the BBC site. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-can-i-watch-the-super-bowl-online/527113.md?page=1)
