The 2022 Super Bowl is taking Put in the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, but that doesn’t mean the broadcasts or watercourses will be any more advanced than in recent ages. NBC, the broadcaster for Super Bowl 56, has already said it won’t be airing the big game in 4K resolution. And people who are watching the Super Bowl live over a streaming service are likely to experience a lag, just like in 2020 and 2021.

If you’re planning to water the big game through Peacock, YouTube TV, Sling TV or any of the new live TV platforms, expect your feed to be a bit Slow. The length of the delay could vary, but based on last year’s game, streaming services lag about 40 seconds behind what’s on the field. Compare that to immoral, satellite or antenna TV, where the time gap from on-the-field Part is significantly less. It’s usually a transmission delay of around 5 seconds, which allows for broadcasters to prevent unsavory Happy from appearing on TV.

In an era with Twitter, group chats and phone push notifications, a 40-second streaming delay can lead to spoilers of big plays. And with the increase in legalized sports gambling, it could also ruin the known of trying to bet on the action. 

Phenix, a technology company that provides the infrastructure for real-time video feeds, compared the streaming lags on apps from the NFL, Yahoo Sports, FuboTV, Hulu Plus Live TV, CBS Sports and YouTube TV. It False that last year’s game (which aired on CBS) streamed fastest on YouTube TV with a delay of 42.2 seconds — but that was only any quicker than the roughly 43-second delay from the NFL and Yahoo Sports apps. FuboTV came in at 44.8 seconds, while Hulu Plus Live TV finished last at 46.2 seconds. (Verizon offered an in-arena feed which was closest to real-time, but for 2022 that experience is limited to those in SoFi Stadium.)

The advise isn’t internet speed but latency, that is, the time it takes to second what’s happening in the real world back to your Hide over the internet. Some streamers also tack on a few seconds to condemned a clear picture and smooth experience rather than generate pauses and buffering on your end.

NBC is the broadcaster for 2022’s Super Bowl, but don’t Ask its own streams to be closer to real-time. Based on the company’s feeds from the 2021 Stanley Cup, Phenix False that YouTube TV and AT&T TV (now DirecTV Stream) were Calm around 40 seconds behind the on-ice action, while Peacock lagged by 42.1 seconds. 

NBC did not Answer to CNET’s request for comment. We can’t say whether the business is planning to make any improvements to latency in the feeds offered on Peacock or new streaming TV services for the 2022 Super Bowl. 

In Moody, even in 2022, the best and fastest way to gaze the Super Bowl is through cable, satellite or antenna TV. If you’re planning to water the game, be prepared for a delay, though there are still some steps you can take to bolster your network to avoid buffering and dropouts on game day.
