Super Bowl 59 is almost here, and it has all of the intrigue you'd expect from the biggest live event of the year. It's the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Philadelphia Eagles battling it out for the title. While this is a rematch of Super Bowl 57, it is also the chance for the Chiefs to win a third consecutive Super Bowl Championship.

The Kansas City Chiefs, led by popular quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, are favored to win going into the event. All eyes are on them this year as they hope to defend their legacy. The drama kicks off on Sunday, February 9.

When Does the Super Bowl Start in 2025?

Super Bowl 59 starts on Sunday, February 9 at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT. The big game is taking place in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the home of the Saints. The Super Bowl pregame show will begin much earlier, so you can tune in starting at 1pm ET / 10am PT for the commentary.

What about the Halftime Show?

If you don't care about the actual game and just want to tune in for Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show, there is unfortunately not an exact time it takes place. That being said, the first half of the game usually takes around two hours, which would put the halftime show start time somewhere around 8 or 8:30pm ET.

How to Watch the Super Bowl Live

In today’s world of seemingly endless streaming platforms and bundles, shopping for the right one(s) can be a trying ordeal. Since so many have their own expansive media libraries, it can be hard to commit to a monthly payment for one or multiple options. Do you want access to every Transformers movie before watching Transformers One? Paramount+ would be a good option. How about all the anime your heart desires? You’ll want to try out Crunchyroll to satisfy that craving. Luckily, most streaming services these days offer a sneak peek via free trials into their cache of goodies. So whatever you’re looking to watch in 2025, these nine free trials are a great way to test the waters of the streaming landscape.

1. Hulu (30-Day Free Trial)

The mecca of popular series both original and classic, Hulu has almost everything a series-binger would need. Adding to its impressive library over the years with some quality, sought-after films as well as TV shows, Hulu also has a wealth of groundbreaking, interesting, original content to dive into. After exploring every nook and cranny that Hulu has to offer in this generous 30-day trial, there are a wide range of subscription options to opt into, from $9.99 a month (with ads) all the way up to just over $100 a month – if you want to include live TV or premium add-ons such as Max, ESPN+, Disney+, Cinemax, Paramount+ with Showtime, Starz, and more. However, the Hulu + Live TV free trial only lasts for three days compared to the 30-day free trial of the standalone streaming service.

It's worth noting that Disney now offers a bundle that combines Hulu, Disney+, and Max into a single streaming package. While that bundle does not have a free trial, it is arguably the best streaming deal available.

Read our review of Hulu or check out all of the Hulu bundles available.

2. Paramount+ (7-Day Free Trial)

Much like Hulu, Paramount+ has dug deep into the nostalgia bin while also offering a breadth of modern shows and movies to choose from. Paramount+ offers exclusive access to media such as the Transformers movies, the Halo series, and the entire Star Trek film/series universe. With new shows and movies added every week along with some well-made originals of its own, Paramount+ is quickly becoming a contender with the big names in streaming. After the seven-day free trial of its services, the recurring monthly amount to stay subscribed will be as low as $7.99 (or $59.99 a year) with limited ads, or $12.99 a month (or $119.99 a year) to add Showtime’s full library and remove almost all ads. You can also get access to Parmount+ via a Walmart+ membership if you're hoping to avoid a free trial all together.

If you're looking to watch the new Knuckles TV series or are wating for Sonic 3 to become available to stream, Paramount+ is the destination for that franchise..

3. Apple TV+ (7-Day Free Trial)

An up-and-coming streaming service in the streaming wars, Apple TV+ takes exclusivity to a whole new level. Featuring some highly praised original shows (Ted Lasso, Severance, Shrinking, The Morning Show, Masters of the Air) and movies (Killers of the Flower Moon, Spirited, Napoleon), Apple is quickly gaining momentum in the race against its competitors. After the seven-day free trial has expired, the monthly subscription will cost $9.99 at base cost, depending on how many users are added to the account. As a disclaimer for those without Apple products, you will have to create a verified Apple ID to access the premium Apple TV+ streaming library. With season 2 of Severance and season 4 of Mythic Quest happening right now, this is a great service to try out.

4. Crunchyroll (7-Day Free Trial)

For viewers looking to expand their Anime horizons and join in on the millions of viewers worldwide, Crunchyroll has an offer that is hard to beat. While there are three different membership tiers to choose from ($7.99/mo to $14.99/mo), Crunchyroll also has a decent amount of anime content streaming for free. With the various membership packages available, subscribers can also gain access to Crunchyroll games as well as discounts at the Crunchyroll online store. Any fan of anime knows that Japan is the leader in anime production, which is why Crunchyroll gives users premium access to brand-new episodes shortly after its initial release in Japan. It's arguably the best place to watch anime online in 2025.

5. fuboTV (7-Day Free Trial)

Another streaming service targeted on live TV streams with a focus on sports, fuboTV is the leading streaming service for sports fans across the globe. While it may be most popular for streaming sporting events, fuboTV has subscription packages that offer up to 10 screens, 1,000 hours of Cloud DVR space, 4k streaming quality, up to 448 TV channels, and even a premium Showtime add-on option. Besides these features, there is also a catalog of popular shows and movies available for on-demand streaming. Once the seven-day trial has expired, subscribers will pay as low as $59.99 for the first month, then $79.99 for the remainder of the membership. If you're looking for a way to watch the Super Bowl online this year, this is a good service to test out over the weekend.

Disney recently struck a deal to combine its service with fuboTV, so while you can still access the free trial now, it may eventually become merged with other Disney properties down the line.

6. DirecTV Stream (5-Day Free Trial)

Although many may remember DirecTV only as a satellite TV service, the company also offers a pretty solid streaming service. DirecTV Stream has an array of streaming options that include various movies, series, and live TV access. Though the trial may be a short one at five days, DirecTV sweetens the deal with some premium content offered upon subscription. When customers sign up for one of three packages ranging in content and priced from $79.99 a month to $119.99 a month, it includes Max, Paramount+ with Showtime, Starz, MGM+, and Cinemax in the first three months of the subscription.

It's worth noting that DirecTV was able to reach an agreement with Disney over various channels. Because of this DirecTV subscribers now has access to ESPN channels again in 2025.

7. Philo TV (7-Day Free Trial)

An additional option for those looking to stream premium TV channels from their living room, Philo TV offers similar options but for a bargain. While many consider this simply an alternative to cable TV (considering its 70+ channels for a much cheaper rate), it also has over 70,000 titles to stream on-demand even without utilizing the DVR capabilities. Set at a constant monthly rate that includes everything Philo has to offer, subscribers only pay $25 a month after their seven-day free trial to keep using one of the more underrated TV services the internet has to offer.

8. Mubi (7-Day Free Trial)

A streaming service catered to the arthouse/foreign film cinephiles, Mubi takes streaming subscriptions to a whole new level. Headlining with some of the more obscure and cerebral films to date, Mubi takes pride in its appreciation of the auteur and the directors who made it happen. Presented as a movie theater in a subscription, users can pick from 30 available films – every day one is added and one is removed. After the seven-day free trial, subscribers will be charged $14.99 a month to retain their membership. With the add-on of a fairly new premium feature called MubiGo, users (in select cities) have access to one movie theater ticket every week – a movie chosen by Mubi – and the Mubi library for $19.99 a month.

9. Amazon Prime (30-Day Free Trial)

As one of the biggest competitors in the streaming wars, Amazon Prime offers a surprisingly long trial of 30 days to decide if you enjoy what it has to offer. Responsible for the production of more high-quality films and series every year (including Rings of Power and the new Fallout series), it’s hard to look away from the Amazon Prime catalog. With access to exclusive content as well as a vast library of established films, much of the content is included with the membership but with an option to rent much newer releases. After the 30-day trial is concluded, users will be charged $14.99 a month (or $139 a year) to continue viewing and enjoy free shipping on orders from Amazon’s shopping center. There is also a student discount of $7.49 a month (or $69 a year).

What are the best free streaming services?

If you're looking for a streaming service that is permanently free, there are actually quite a few. One of the biggest names in free streeming is the Roku Channel, which offers tons of movies and shows without the need for a paid subscription. Tubi is also a great option for free movies, TV shows, and live TV channels. Alternatively, if you just want access to live TV directly from the air, you can buy a TV antenna and get access to local channels.

Streaming Free Trial FAQs

Does Netflix have a free trial?

Unfortunately, if you're looking to get a free trial to Netflix, you're out of luck. Netflix does not offer any free trials and is unlikely to ever do so. If you're hoping to add Netflix to your list of subscription services, however, you can take a look at our guide to Netflix plans and prices for more info or dive into some of the best Netflix alternatives.

Does Disney+ have a free trial?

When Disney+ first launched, there was in fact Disney+ free trial. That is no longer the case, and you will need to pay for a subscription to get access to the service in 2025. That being said, it's possible to bundle Disney+ with other services to save some money. You can check out our guide to Disney+ bundles for more info or checkout some of the best Disney+ alternatives.

Does Max have a free trial?

Similar to Netflix and Disney+, Max does not currently offer a free trial. However, the HBO/Discovery streaming service has been known to offer discounts on its service at various points throughout the year. You can check out our guide to Max deals for more info.

Does Peacock have a free trial?

Although it's offered free trials in the past, Peacock does not currently have a free trial option in 2025. So if you want to watch Oppenheimer or shows like The Office, you will have to pay for the subscription.

Although I love playing my guitar whenever I get the chance, some of my favorite memories with a guitar are actually Rock Band memories. There's something so satisfying about holding a guitar controller and feeling like I'm actually playing songs that I would never dream of playing on a real guitar.

While my own Rock Band days ended a long time ago, the music goes on with the likes of Rock Band 4 and Fortnite Festival. And if you want to keep playing those games or get back into them, PDP released a new wireless guitar controller just last year that can help you do that. It's pretty expensive, but Amazon has just dropped the price to a new low with a 20% discount.

PDP Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller Sale

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Amazon had a pretty fantastic sale on Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles, but it seems the retailer is back at it again with more discounts today. The last time this sale came around, I picked up multiple puzzles at a 30% discount, and it looks like quite a few of the options are back with the same discount. If you're a chronic puzzler yourself, or are looking for Valentine's Day gift ideas for your significant other, now is a great time to pick up a new puzzle.

There is no clear landing page for all of the deals, but I've gone ahead and sorted through the coolest options available. There's a range of choices between 100 and 1000 pieces to choose from.

The Best Puzzle Deals on Amazon Today

Similar to the last time Amazon had a sale like this, all of these deals are lightning deals. What this means is that each puzzle has a limited amount of stock dedicated to the discount. So once a certain number of people buy enough of one type of puzzle, the deal may expire. That being said, sometimes Amazon will keep the discount going after the lightning deal ends, so just make sure you check the price against what I've listed here.

Is Ravensburger a Good Puzzle Brand?

If you aren't consistently buying puzzles, then you may not know much about the different brands available. One of the reasons these discounts are noteworthy is because Ravensburger is arguably the best jigsaw puzzle brand on the market. What makes these puzzles different from other brands is the quality of the fit. Each puzzle is precisely punched so that you should hear a click every time you put a piece in place. It's this, the overall quality of the materials used, and the sheer variety of options available that make these some of the most sought after puzzles.

What Is the Best Piece Count to Buy?

One important thing to think about before you purchase a puzzle is how many pieces it is. This is the most obvious indicator of how difficult the puzzle will be to complete. If you're a beginner, you may want to start with a 300 or 500 piece puzzle that won't take you days to finish. However, if you are looking for more of a challenge, 1000 pieces or more is the way to go. Most of our favorite jigsaw puzzles for adults land around 1000 pieces.

If you aren't fast at puzzling, you may want to opt for a 500 piece puzzle. It's also worth investing in a decent puzzle board if you plan on leaving it out for more than a day.

The Shrek movie universe is a fantastical and comedic world filled with fairy tale characters and charmingly quirky inhabitants. It centers around the lovable ogre Shrek, his feisty princess-turned-ogre-wife Fiona, and their loyal friends Donkey and Puss in Boots – a character which has earned his own series of films within this universe. The franchise combines humor, adventure, and heartwarming messages, exploring themes of acceptance, self-discovery, and the power of true love. With its memorable characters, witty dialogue, and clever adaptations of fairy tale tropes, Shrek series is full of animated classics beloved by audiences of all ages.

With Shrek 5 in the early stages of pre-production, there’s no way to tell when it will be released but at least there’s always the classics available to stream online.

Where to Watch the Shrek Movies Online

Disney is a multimedia powerhouse, the king of every form of entertainment from movies, TV shows, theme parks, and even video games. Over the last 30 years, The House of Mouse had a hand in creating video game adaptations of some classic Disney movies and original games, like Kingdom Hearts and Epic Mickey.

Today, there are plenty of Disney games on the Nintendo Switch for you to enjoy playing alone or with family and friends. Whether you’re relaxing at home and want to take a break from scrolling through Disney+ or taking a trip to a Disney Park, here's every Disney game for the Switch in release order.

How Many Disney Games Are on the Nintendo Switch?

It can be a little challenging to pinpoint what is and isn't "Disney" these days. In total, 11 Disney games have launched on the Switch since the handheld released in 2017. Three of those games are movie tie-ins, one is a spin-off of the Kingdom Hearts series, and one is technically a collection of multiple "Disney classics." I don't include them here in the interest of space, but there are also plenty of Star Wars games on the Switch that technically fall under the Disney umbrella.

Which Disney Game Is Worth Playing in 2025?

Not every Disney game is created equal. The combination of "the Disney Brand" with Nintendo Switch games already being pretty expensive means I wouldn't recommend all of the games on this list at their current price points. That said, there have definitely been some winners in the past couple years. If you're looking for a game that makes you feel like you're part of the Disney world, Dreamlight Valley is as good as it gets. The Animal Crossing-like game places you in the position to rebuild Dreamlight Valley with the help of your neighbors, a host of Disney and Pixar characters with their own questlines.

All Disney and Pixar Games on Switch (in Release Order)

Cars 3: Driven to Win (2017)

The first Disney game that launched on the Switch is technically a Pixar game that also overlapped with the Nintendo 3DS. In 2017, the media giant released a tie-in game for the movie Cars 3. Naturally, Cars 3: Driven to Win is a racing game featuring 20 tracks based on locations from the films (including Radiator Springs). The game also includes 20 customizable "characters," some that are automatically unlocked at the start, like Lightning McQueen, while others, like Mater and Chick Hicks, can only be unlocked by winning your way through the five game modes and various Master Events.

LEGO The Incredibles (2018)

LEGO The Incredibles takes the plotlines of both Incredibles films, released 14 years apart, and merges them into one giant LEGO game. Much like the LEGO Star Wars games, LEGO The Incredibles contains some deviations from the original source material, like changes to the lore we don’t want to spoil for those who haven’t seen the films (even though you had nearly 20 years to do so), and adds original villains to fight along with Bomb Voyage, Syndrome, and the Underminer. But it’s fun to play through, especially seeing that the LEGO version of Elastigirl can stretch herself as far as her movie version can.

This is only one of many LEGO games currently available on the Switch.

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival (2019)

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a cute party game inspired by the Disney Tsum Tsum line of collectible toys and the mobile game from Japan, featuring all the Disney and Pixar characters in Tsum Tsum form. The game has 10 different minigames you can play alone or with family and friends, including bubble hockey, curling, and ice cream stacker, among others. You can even play the classic mobile puzzle game with the Switch in a vertical position.

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (2019)

Disney and Square Enix’s spin on the latter’s Theatrhythm Final Fantasy lets you take control of Sora, Donald, Goofy, and other characters from across the Kingdom Hearts universe to slash the Heartless and their ilk to the beat of the series’ iconic soundtrack. Enjoy the musical stylings of Yoko Shimomura by yourself, or share the music with your friends in local co-op or online multiplayer battles.

In the grand scheme of things, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory gives a recap of the series up to Kingdom Hearts 3 with narration from Kairi, who falls into a deep sleep under Ansem the Wise’s observation after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3’s Re: Mind DLC. Whether you’re a veteran fan of Kingdom Hearts games or a newcomer, this game does an excellent job of getting you up to speed in preparation for Kingdom Hearts 4, which is currently in development.

Read our review of Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.

Disney Classic Games Collection (2021)

Disney Classic Games Collection is an updated edition of 2019’s Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King (a mouthful of a title) that includes the Final Cut of Aladdin and the console and handheld versions of The Jungle Book. It has an interactive museum, a rewind function to correct gameplay mistakes, an expanded soundtrack, and a retro-style manual for one of the three games if you buy a physical copy.

This compilation lets you relive the game adaptations of your favorite Disney movies the way you played them in the ‘90s no matter which platform you owned at the time, hence the inclusion of the Sega Genesis and Game Boy versions of Aladdin and The Lion King, as well as the Super Nintendo version of the latter. Adding The Jungle Book makes the compilation even more valuable as no one had seen the game since 1994.

Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition (Switch Release: 2021)

In hindsight, Disney's Magical World series feels a bit like the precursor to Dreamlight Valley. Originally released for the 3DS, the first two Magical World games let players befriend and complete quests for Disney and Pixar characters with additional farming, crafting, and even combat mechanics. Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition is a remaster of the second game in the series released specifically for the Nintendo Switch. Like Animal Crossing, the game syncs to your device's clock for seasonal events and quest refreshes.

Tron: Identity (2023)

Tron: Identity is a visual novel that differentiates itself from other games adapted from the Tron franchise. It reveals another facet of life on the Grid without involving characters from the films, as it is set thousands of years after the events of Tron: Legacy. The game centers on a program named Query, a detective assigned to investigate an explosion in the vault of the Repository, a secure building in the center of the Grid. As the mystery unfolds, the other programs you interact with pose more questions than answers.

Each character you meet gives you the choice to either ally with them, antagonize them, or derezz them, depending on the dialogue. Plus, you have to complete puzzles in order to ask them more questions about the vault explosion. That’s a lot of detective work to do in three to six hours.

Read our review of Tron: Identity.

Disney Speedstorm (2023)

2023 was a big year for Disney games, but the first release from that year flew a little under the radar. Disney Speedstorm is a kart racing game featuring some brawling mechanics and, of course, a pretty extensive lineup of Disney characters with unique skills and their own personalized vehicles. Characters are pulled from everything under Disney's umbrella, from the emotions of the Inside Out movies to Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. While the racing mechanics are relatively solid, IGN's Early Access review of the game comments on the "absurd" token systems and "gacha-like" in-game economies.

Disney Illusion Island (2023)

Mickey Mouse’s latest gaming adventure from Disney Interactive and Dlala Studios sees him, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy travel to the mysterious Monoth Island for a picnic that turns into a high-stakes mission to recover the three stolen Tomes of Knowledge that helps protect the island. Whether you’re playing in single-player or co-op mode with three additional players, you can play as either character and navigate the island Metroidvania style.

Disney Illusion Island carries the same comedic charm as the recent Mickey Mouse cartoons despite the change in art style. Enjoy the game’s story, the lore of Monoth Island, and the unlockable Mickey Mouse memorabilia scattered around the island.

Read our review of Disney Illusion Island.

Disney Dreamlight Valley (2023)

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life sim from Gameloft that is basically Disney meets Animal Crossing, where you get to live, work, and play alongside your favorite Disney characters. You play as a human who arrives at the titular Dreamlight Valley, which has been gripped by the Night Thorns, leading to The Forgetting. This supernatural event caused the Disney characters who stayed in the valley to lose their memories while others returned to their home worlds for safety.

You work to rebuild Dreamlight Valley using magic called Dreamlight to weed out the Night Thorns, provide housing for the character via Scrooge McDuck’s construction company, cook food at Remy’s restaurant, and build friendships with everyone, both heroes and villains. The best part is, you never have to worry about your clothes, food, and tools taking up space in your inventory. And you can customize your character with the coolest Disney outfits complete with Mickey Mouse ears just like you were going to Disney World — or Disneyland, depending on where you live.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (2024)

The most recent Disney game on the Switch, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remaster of the original Epic Mickey game that launched on the Wii in 2010. Smoother performance, enhanced graphics, and new abilities make the platformer an overall improvement over its predecessor. Take on the lofty role of Mickey Mouse as you try to stop the "Blot" from destroying the memories of forgotten characters, traversing darker-than-usual Disney environments and, of course, enlisting the helpful of friendly faces along the way.
