The next time you attend a sporting event or concert in one of the biggest stadiums in the country, you might not have to fight with everyone else’s\u00a0phones<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to get a solid signal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turbo Live by AT&T\u00a0is a service that provides priority cellular performance during events, and got a proper kickoff at the 2026 Super Bowl<\/span><\/span>. For future events, the service will also be open to customers of Verizon and T-Mobile, not just AT&T subscribers.<\/p>\n Turbo Live is a separate paid service that you purchase on a per-event basis. Access during the Super Bowl, for instance, costs $15, but that pricing is on the high end among other events, such as a Backstreet Boys concert at the Las Vegas Sphere ($10) or a Chicago Bulls basketball game ($7).<\/p>\n <\/div> Turbo Live by AT&T is a service you order for each live event where you want premium cellular access.<\/p>\n <\/span> Screenshot by Jeff Carlson\/CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n When the service opens up to Verizon and T-Mobile customers, they’ll need a 5G-capable phone, which AT&T says may need to be unlocked, and an open eSIM slot<\/span><\/span> for activation.<\/p>\n The latter detail is what makes Turbo Live available outside of AT&T subscribers: The feature is installed as a secondary eSIM. A Connect on Demand app will provide instructions for setting it up, which will involve a “one-time payment method” with no carrier commitment needed, according to AT&T.<\/p>\n Running a separate service as a secondary eSIM is becoming more common. It’s one of the easiest ways to get international phone service<\/span><\/span> when you’re traveling, and is also how T-Mobile offers its T-Satellite<\/span><\/span> feature to customers of other carriers for $10 a month.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for AT&T confirmed that Turbo Live is using AT&T’s existing 5G network that covers the following 10 stadiums:<\/p>\n \u2022 Alabama (Bryant Denny Stadium) AT&T is also working to expand coverage in Dallas (AT&T Stadium), Foxborough (Gillette Stadium) and Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium).<\/p>\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
