Fans will be able to view the streamed action free-of-charge, without having to log in with cable subscription details, which makes things more convenient. As for how you can stream the action, well, you have the choice between viewing the CBS coverage on its web page, smartphones, tablets, Apple TV, Xbox One, Chromecast, Roku and connected TV’s. There’s a pretty good chance that you have at least one of the compatible devices to hand.
