Super Bowl 2026 is fast approaching, and if you're outside the US, then one of the best VPNs allows you to watch Super Bowl LX as if you were sitting on your couch. I'll be doing just that, and have found the perfect VPN to watch the big game this Sunday.

ExpressVPN is an ideal beginner-friendly VPN, with top-class streaming credentials. Two-year plans start at $2.44 per month, with four extra free months, and it's the cheapest the VPN has ever been.

ExpressVPN | 2 years + 4 months FREE | $2.44 per month
Thanks to a server in every US state, ExpressVPN is a great option for catching the Super Bowl wherever you are. It now offers a full privacy suite so you can protect yourself online long after full time.

What you'll get...

🌍 A server in every US state and 188 locations worldwide
🚀 1,400+ Mbps speeds with Lightway Turbo
📺 Decent streaming unblocking
🔑 Post-quantum encryption

A 28-month plan costs $2.44 per month ($68.40 upfront pre-tax) and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Bang for your buck

I write about VPNs every day, and Black Friday 2025 is the only other time I've ever seen ExpressVPN this cheap. Plus, it undercuts all its major rivals.

Two-year plans are the best value, and these come with an additional four months of protection for free. Three tiers of plans are on offer:

ExpressVPN Basic: $2.44 per month ($68.40 upfront pre-tax)
ExpressVPN Advanced: $3.14 per month ($88.00 upfront pre-tax)
ExpressVPN Pro: $5.24 per month ($146.80 upfront pre-tax)

I subscribed to the two-year plan because I know I'll use the wide array of features ExpressVPN has to offer. But if you know that's not going to be you, one-year and one-month plans are also available. You're saving money upfront, but be aware that these plans are more expensive per month if you decide to keep your subscription.

All ExpressVPN plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can claim a refund if you don't want to keep the product.

When you're streaming from abroad, connecting to a server close to home is crucial. What I love about ExpressVPN is it has servers in every US state, making it one of the best US VPNs. From New York to Nevada, you'll be able to connect to your home state – perfect for connecting to your home NBC coverage

This US-first support contributes to ExpressVPN's total server count of 3,000+ and 188 locations worldwide.

I've encountered no problems streaming with ExpressVPN, and it performed well in my testing with Peacock – one of the most popular cord-cutting services that carries NBC. It also unblocked almost all other services we tested it with first time. It only failed with US Amazon Prime Video and US YouTube – a common trend we're seeing in our testing across all VPNs.

I run ExpressVPN on Windows and it consistently delivers fast speeds. In our lab testing, the Windows-exclusive Lightway Turbo maxed out at a blisteringly fast 1,479 Mbps.

Even if, like me, your Wi-Fi isn't quite that fast, you only need 25 Mbps to stream in 4K. So no matter what platform you're on, as long as Wi-Fi is solid, you should see a crystal-clear Super Bowl feed.

ExpressVPN also has apps for tons of devices, including Fire Stick, Apple TV, and iOS and Android. These don't support the super-fast Lightway Turbo protocol, but at around 700 Mbps, these devices still aren't noticeably slowed down.

Depending on your tier of plan, you can protect up to 10, 12, or 14 devices. I only need to protect my laptop, iPad, and iPhone, so the 10-device limit provided by ExpressVPN Basic is more than enough for me.

You can also browse and stream safe in the knowledge your data is secure. ExpressVPN is fully audited and utilizes post-quantum encryption – the new industry standard.

ExpressVPN Advanced throws in a password manager and an upgraded threat protection. ExpressVPN Pro bundles Dedicated IP, giving you your own unique VPN IP address.

For a limited time, Identify Defender Pro is included in both the ExpressVPN Advanced and Pro plans. It's a US-exclusive and provides you with up to $1 million in cyber insurance, data removal, credit scanning and monitoring, and ID alerts.

Any other options?

PrivadoVPN | 2 years | $1.11 per month
If you want the cheapest premium VPN out there, you're looking at PrivadoVPN. It's secure, boasts 950+ Mbps speeds, and offers unlimited device protections.

It isn't glamorous or feature-packed, and I have encountered some performance issues on Windows. Although it's designed for streaming, it didn't perform as well in our testing compared to bigger names – but it's very reliable for accessing Peacock.

However, you can't beat it for price. A 2-year deal costs $1.11 per month ($30 upfront) and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

There's also a very good free plan, PrivadoVPN Free. It can be used for streaming but you'll eat through the 10GB monthly data limit in no time.

NordVPN | 2 years | $3.39 per month
We rate NordVPN as the best VPN for most people and I can see why. It's fast, fairly easy-to-use, and boasts class-leading privacy and security.

It's streaming power is unmatched and speeds regularly exceed 1,000 Mbps. If you're after performance reliability and consistency, check out NordVPN.

Price is the biggest downside here. A 2-year plan starts at $3.39 per month ($81.36 upfront), with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

NordVPN is a beast, but it isn't for the budget conscious. Its four plans are between $1-$2 per month more expensive than ExpressVPN, so it loses out here.
