It’s Super Bowl Sunday and you may be scrambling to figure out how you are going to watch the big game tonight. If you have an iPad or a Mac, you have access to a live stream of the game and both its pre-game and post-game programming. The streaming options for iPhone owners are limited, with only one app providing live content to users who are on Verizon Wireless. nfl-mobile-iphone iPhone

iPhone owners have one and only one option for watching the Super Bowl on their smartphone. Due to licensing agreements, the NFL Mobile app is the only app authorized to provide a live stream of the game to the iPhone. The app is available only to Verizon Wireless customers and requires a subscription. If you are in Canada, you can use the Bell TV app, which is available to Bell subscribers and requires a subscription fee.  UK watchers can download the TVCatchup Live app.
