Stream Super Bowl 2026 on Fire TV: Cheat sheet
If you’re streaming Super Bowl 2026 this afternoon, there’s a real possibility that you’re using a Fire TV device. While we currently don’t have a Fire TV device in our guide to the best streaming devices we’ve tested, there’s no denying they’re quite popular. Especially since they all have access to the best streaming services and the best cable TV alternatives.
Of course, you could ditch the need for a streaming device and get a Fire TV instead. These TVs integrate the Fire TV OS with all the best features you come to expect from a great TV. Right now, our top-rated Fire TV is the Hisense U65QF Mini-LED TV, which is an excellent TV for under $500.
Watch On
Once you have the perfect Fire TV device or a new Fire TV, you’ll need to know which Fire TV apps to use to stream Super Bowl LX. Our top (and only) streaming service pick is Peacock Premium, which will allow you to stream Seahawks vs. Patriots in 4K for just $10.99 a month.
If you already have a live TV streaming service, you likely have access to NBC, which will be broadcasting the game. Our top pick is YouTube TV, which streams the game in 1080p normally, but offers a 4K HDR stream with its 4K Plus add-on (for an additional charge).
So now, you should have a pretty good idea of what streaming devices and apps you need, but let’s dive into the full details. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Super Bowl 2026 on Fire TV.

Super Bowl 2026 on Fire TV: Which device is right for you?
When it comes to the Fire TV streaming devices, there are five different devices you can choose from: Fire TV Stick HD, Fire TV Stick 4K Select, Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Cube.
The Stick HD doesn’t stream 4K video, and the Cube is nearly $140, so both of those are tough to recommend. For me, the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the sweet spot, giving you 4K streaming with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, for $10 less than the Stick 4K Max. The Max is better (I have one), but it’s not $10 better.
Right now, you can get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max at Amazon for $49.99. It’s a great choice for streaming 4K content, and if you like being in the Amazon ecosystem, it’s the streaming device I’d recommend.
Super Bowl 2026 on Fire TV in 4K: Which app is right for you?
Peacock is the exclusive streaming home of Super Bowl 2026, and right now, you can get it for $10.99 a month. If you just want to watch the game, Peacock has a far lower price point than a live TV streaming service, plus, it comes with tons of other shows and movies to stream after the game is over.
If you want something that can truly replace your cable package, then YouTube TV is the top choice. It’s great for streaming sports, thanks to features like Multiview and Catch up with key plays. If you’re looking to stream the game in 4K, that’s an option too, though you’ll need to spring for the 4K Plus add-on, which costs an extra $9.99 per month.
Right now, Tom’s Guide is offering YouTube TV for $62.99 a month for your first five months. That’s a total savings of $75, which is better than what YouTube TV is currently offering most customers. Plus, if you haven’t already signed up for the 4K Plus add-on, you can try it for free right now for 30 days.
Finally, if you want the cable TV experience but are looking for something wallet-friendly, then Sling TV is an alternative worth considering. Starting at $29.99 for your first month, Sling Orange & Blue gives over 50 channels, including NBC in some markets. Or, you can check out Sling Select, starting at just $19.99. This package offers a lot less; just 10+ channels. But it also costs a lot less.
While Sling can be great, there is one major problem: Sling might not offer NBC in your market. For example, in Atlanta, I can’t get NBC through Sling. So using it to watch the Super Bowl isn’t viable for me.
