Millions of people will gather to watch Super Bowl LVI this weekend, but for many the big draw might not be the actual football game but the always fun to watch Super Bowl commercials.

Super Bowl commercials are often huge spectacles, with big budgets and sometimes even bigger stars. Some are funny, some are cute, some are inspirational, but all of them are pretty epic. Though more services allow viewers to skip ads, the Super Bowl commercials are part of the draw of the big game, and not just for those in the U.S., but all over the world.

Sometimes it can be hard to see the Super Bowl commercials outside of the U.S., but there are a few options to people looking to see the best commercials from this year's game.

Peacock

NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock will be providing a live stream of NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl, which will include the commercials. While Peacock primarily serves the U.S. and U.S. territories, it has begun expanding internationally, including to the U.K.

Peacock is available via Sky and Now TV for U.K. viewers. If you are someone who wants to be able to enjoy the big game with the commercials, watching it via Peacock is probably the best best, as the BBC's free, live broadcast of the game is not expected to feature any of the commercials.

VPN

VPNs, or virtual private networks, have long been used to get around geo-locking and keep your internet browsing private and secure. With a VPN, viewers from anywhere the world can access NBC's broadcast of Super Bowl LVI, including the commercials.

Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which lets you change your IP address on whichever device you want to watch your new favorite show on.

From laptops to smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks, games consoles, and even mobile phones, you can change the address to make your device think it's in a different location to enable you to watch the things you love around the world. 

ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs out there. Not only because it is straightforward and easy to use, but it also has great security and, best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is one of the easiest and affordable ways to watch what you want from anywhere you want to watch it. And it's a great way to keep up with the boxing action from anywhere in the world.

YouTube

If all else fails, a lot of Super Bowl ads end up on YouTube, both before and after the game. If you come across any that don't seem to be available in your country, you can always look around on YouTube to see if anybody has reuploaded the video in your country, or use a VPN to access the content.
