Simply search for Paramount+, download it, and sign up. Voila! You’re practically already smelling the nachos.
Option 2: Fox Sports App (For Fox Games)
When Fox takes the broadcasting crown, the Fox Sports app becomes your best friend. It's like having a miniature Fox broadcasting station right inside your Apple TV!
Download the Fox Sports app, and you’ll likely need to sign in with your TV provider credentials. Think of it as showing your VIP pass to get past the velvet rope.
Option 3: Streaming TV Services - The All-in-One Package
Don't want to commit to just one app? Enter the streaming TV services! These are like the buffet of the streaming world, offering a wide array of channels, including CBS and Fox (usually!).
Options like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and FuboTV are your all-in-one options. Just make sure to check that they carry your local CBS and/or Fox affiliate before you sign up!
The Apple TV App Store: Your Playground
Finding and downloading these apps is a breeze. Just head to the Apple TV App Store. It's the equivalent of a candy store for your entertainment needs.
Use the search function to find the app you want, click "Get," and then "Open" once it's downloaded. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Logging In: Show 'Em Who's Boss
Once you've downloaded your chosen app, you'll probably need to log in. This is where you'll use your existing cable provider credentials or create a new account if necessary.

Game Time: Prepare for Glory!
On Super Bowl Sunday, fire up your chosen app well before kickoff. Nobody wants to miss the pre-game shenanigans! Consider it your warm-up routine before the main event.
Navigate to the live channel broadcasting the game, and get ready to cheer, boo, and maybe even shed a tear (depending on how your team is doing!). You did it!
Bonus Tip: Test Run!
A few days before the Super Bowl, do a test run. Nothing's worse than fiddling with apps when the game is about to start! It’s like practicing your victory dance before you actually win.
Make sure everything is working smoothly, so you can focus on the important stuff: yelling at the TV and consuming an unreasonable amount of snacks. You deserve it!
Enjoy the Super Bowl! May your team win, your snacks be plentiful, and your Apple TV cooperate flawlessly! Remember, even if your team loses, you still have all those amazing commercials to look forward to!
