Super Bowl 2020 live stream: how to watch for free, without commercials and from anywhere

The players are on the pitch, the anthem has been sung and Super Bowl 2020 is ready to go! The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are going to battle things out to win the 100th NFL season. And we can tell you all you need to know to get a Super Bowl live stream - including all the free options, no matter where in the world you are (or with a VPN), and even without having to sit through those annoying commercial breaks!

Between the 49ers' stellar defensive tackles and the Chiefs' incredible offense, you can see why we're finding it so hard to call this year's big one.

The 49ers come in to Super Bowl LIV having convincingly beaten the Packers 37-20 in their conference final. Not only was their defensive tackle impressive but they also managed to run the ball 42 times for 285 yards throughout the game. That sounds like Super Bowl-winning kind of form! While, the Chiefs managed to eliminate the plucky Titans, highlighted by Patrick Mahomes's incredible 27-yard touchdown.

And if you're equally looking forward to the entertainment part of the Super Bowl (we don't blame you) you definitely should be! Shakira and Jennifer Lopez have teased aspects of their performances but it's set to be an amazing spectacle.
