The Falcons, making just their second Super Bowl appearance ever, are hoping to walk away with their first ring.&nbsp;The Patriots on the other hand are quite accustomed to this setting as they look for their fifth National Championship &#8211; and coincidentally what would be quarterback Tom Brady&#8217;s fifth as well.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for us cord cutters is that, like most NFL games, we can watch the big game for free in crisp high-definition since it&#8217;ll be broadcast over-the-air on FOX. And if you won&#8217;t be at home or you&#8217;re unfortunately out of range of your local FOX station, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/presspass\/latestnews\/2017\/01\/17\/fox-sports-to-stream-super-bowl-li-live-on-fox-sports-go\">stream the game online<\/a> without a pay-TV authentication.<\/p>\n<h2>When &amp; Where to Watch Super Bowl LI<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Sunday, February 5, 2017<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 6:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p><strong>Network:<\/strong> FOX<\/p>\n<p><strong>Live Stream:<\/strong> FOX Sports 2 Go (no authentication needed)<\/p>\n<h2>A Cord Cutter&#8217;s History of&nbsp;Watching the Super Bowl<\/h2>\n<p>The Super Bowl has a long tradition of being cord-cutter friendly, even way before &#8220;cord cutting&#8221; was a thing. Here are some interesting over-the-air TV and streaming <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Super_Bowl#Super_Bowl_on_TV\">facts<\/a> about the biggest football event of the year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first Super Bowl in 1967 was broadcast on both CBS and NBC simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li>Every Super Bowl has been broadcast one one of the four major networks: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC.<\/li>\n<li>CBS takes the cake for most Super Bowl broadcasts at 19, followed closely by NBC with 18, FOX with 8 (including this year&#8217;s), and ABC with 7.<\/li>\n<li>A 30-second ad during the first Super Bowl cost about $40,000. A 30-second ad during last year&#8217;s Panthers vs. Broncos match-up? $5,000,000.<\/li>\n<li>51 million people tuned into the first-ever Super Bowl.<\/li>\n<li>167 million people tuned into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gomohu.com\/blog\/whats-on\/watch-super-bowl-50-without-a-cable-bill\/\">Super Bowl 50<\/a> last year.<\/li>\n<li>Super Bowl 46 featuring the Patriots and the Giants was the first SB to be live-streamed online, with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsgeekery.com\/22459\/over-2-million-viewers-watched-super-bowl-46-online\/\">2.1 million<\/a> people tuning in online. Every Super Bowl since then has had a&nbsp;free live stream option available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, whether you&#8217;re hoping the Falcons <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23RiseUp&amp;src=tyah\">#RiseUp<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;the occasion on just their second Super Bowl trip ever or the Patriots bring home yet another trophy, it should be a great game.
