Clicking over to the Super Bowl channel is the last step you need to take before the fun begins. And once you learn it's on CBS, you can find out if CBS is a channel you get. If that's not the case? Don't worry.

Even though CBS is available on most cable TV packages, only some of the best cable TV alternatives have CBS. That doesn't mean you're out of luck when it comes to getting a Super Bowl live stream. You just need to know where not to go.

For example, CBS isn't in the Sling TV channels guide. This is part of the plan, though: Sling TV is more affordable than the rest because it goes light on broadcast networks, which often charge an arm and a leg. But even if you pay for Sling TV, you can still watch the big game live — for free — with our guide, which means all that's left to learn is what time is the Super Bowl?

CBS is the primary Super Bowl channel in the U.S., which means cable subscribers will have no trouble watching. If you've cut the cord, you've got a few ways to watch the big game — but you might need more than your existing streaming service.

As for the services that won't be as helpful, Hulu with Live TV has some CBS channels, but it dropped some local CBS affiliates, so it might not be the best bet. CBS isn't on Sling TV or Philo, either.

Your best bet, if you're already paying for Sling, would be to watch online for free on CBSSports.com. You could also one tune in with one of the best TV antennas. Locast, which streams broadcast channels for free online, is also an option you could try, as it has apps on Android TV, Fire TV, Roku and other streaming devices. It's only covering 48.2% of the U.S. population, so it's not guaranteed.
