Where To Watch the Weeknd’s Super Bowl Half-Time Performance if You Missed It Live

As you’re likely aware at this point, the 2021 Super Bowl is done and dusted for another year. You may have watched it live, or you may have missed it entirely, considering it kicked off in the middle of a Monday for us Aussies.

If you fall into that second camp, you may be wondering where you can find all the highlights of the event. Good news for you, there is the option to watch back the game in full through sports streaming services.

Where can I find the highlights?

However, if you just want quick bites of the best bits, you’ll probably find YouTube and Twitter are going to be your best friends today.

So, I suppose that trend was laced through his Super Bowl half-time show, too.
