Super Bowl XLVIII will take place on Sunday Feb. 2, 2014 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The game between Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks will kick off at 6:25 p.m. Eastern Time (5:25 Central) and will be televised on FOX.

The most hardcore fans will be at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, where the temperature will be around 40 degrees at kickoff with winds gusting 6-9 miles per hour.

For those of us who are not as hardcore, or don't have thousands to spend on a ticket, the most popular ways to watch the Superbowl are probably with a bunch of friends around a large-screen TV with loads of snacks and beer or in a rowdy sports bar full of football fans,

The Super Bowl will again be streamed live online for free in the United States. Fox Sports Go live-stream policies normally require you to verify that you're already paying for cable before you can watch online, but the Superbowl will be available for free from FoxSportsGo.com or the Fox Sports Go iPad app.

In a previous article, we covered why Fox Sports won't be allowed to stream the game to smartphones -- only desktop computers and iPads (it has to do with NFL's deal with Verizon). To watch from your phone you'll need a $5-per-month subscription to Verizon's NFL Mobile service. Android tablet users will have to use FoxSportsGo.com on their browsers.

If you don't care about the commercials, by all means stream it and hook your laptop up to your projector. Besides, the ads will all be on YouTube anyway and we've already seen some of them because they were released online ahead of the game this year. Slate reports that "Fox is selling its online ad slots separately from its inventory for the main telecast, so the ones that appear in the online feed won't necessarily be the same ones the rest of the country is watching."
