Super Bowl 50: How to Watch
By Ben Renner
Super Bowl 50 is tomorrow. Welcome to Earth. Here’s how to watch the Denver Broncos try to upset the Carolina Panthers.
Super Bowl 50 will be broadcast on CBS, with coverage starting at 11am PST. You can listen to James Brown and various former NFL players and coaches analyze every possible detail of a game that hasn’t happened yet and probably all predict the Panthers to beat the Broncos right when you get out of bed. Kickoff doesn’t start until 3:30pm, so you have plenty of time to smoke off those hangovers and get the chili cooking before that first snap goes flying by Peyton Manning‘s head.

If you don’t have cable, or you’d prefer to watch the game in an alternative fashion (sometimes Portland sports fans read this blog), you can watch all pregame coverage and actual game action on Roku, Xbox One, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, or Android TV on the CBS Sports app.
If you have Chromecast, simply download the CBS Sports app on your mobile device and cast it to your TV. You’ll have to use Wi-fi for this. If you’re trying to watch the game on your phone as you bus home from work (God bless you), you’ll need Verizon Wireless coverage. If you’re lucky enough in this one instance to possess Verizon Wireless coverage, you can watch it on the CBS Sports app again or NFL Mobile from Verizon.
If you’re desperate, make friends with your parents or someone else with an online cable login and use Slingshot, a service that uses placeshifting technology to–doesn’t matter–sling television from one location to another. You can also pay for Slingbox 500, which is offering discounts for Super Bowl 50.
