Chances are you may not be planning a major blowout for Super Bowl 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.

But just because you can't gather around the same TV together eating wings doesn't mean you can't watch the Bucs versus the Chiefs -- or, for some, the commercials and halftime show -- alongside friends and family in a virtual space. 

What app you choose to use depends on how you and your virtual friends and family plan on watching the game.

The game is streaming free on CBSSports.com, and on live TV streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV and FuboTV. 

Use the Teleparty app to watch the game, but only if you and your friends have Hulu Plus Live TV.


If your group will be watching on different cable or streaming platforms, your best bet for watching together might be good old Zoom.
