The excitement is building up as Super Bowl LVIII is just around the corner, set to take place on Sunday, February 11, at the impressive Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. If you’re a fan, here are the essential details you need to know about this highly anticipated event.
Broadcasting Bonanza
Super Bowl LVIII promises to be a treat for football fans and television viewers. The game will be televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+, marking the first Super Bowl to be broadcast under the new 11-year NFL television contract.
This agreement brings in a fresh four-year cycle among major networks, encompassing CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. What’s even more exciting is the announcement that CBS Sports will offer a youth-oriented alternate broadcast of the game on Nickelodeon. The Super Bowl will have such an alternate broadcast option for the first time.
The game will also be available to stream on Paramount+. Similar to the previous year, you can also catch it for free on mobile devices and the web via the NFL app and NFL.com, in addition to the paid NFL+ app. So, no matter where you are, you’ll have multiple options to catch all the Super Bowl action.
Halftime Extravaganza
One of the most awaited aspects of any Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, and Super Bowl LVIII is no exception. American R&B sensation Usher has been announced as the headliner for this year’s Halftime Show.
Interestingly, this will be Usher’s second time gracing the Super Bowl stage. Before, he took the Super Bowl stage performing his popular track, “OMG,” alongside Will.i.am, who led the show alongside fellow members of the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas back in 2011.
Usher’s incredible talent and stage presence, combined with his previous Super Bowl experience, promise to make this halftime performance memorable, adding an extra layer of entertainment to the game.
