The NFL’s annual championship game is likely to be here before you know it. The Super Bowl takes place on February 9 between two teams that aren’t yet known. They will be the winners of the playoffs from the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The kickoff of the game is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. This is arguably the biggest single event in U.S. sports and is eagerly anticipated by fans.

The draw cards are not only the football and all the festivities but the star-studded half-time shows.
Fans who don’t attend will be able to watch the game on Fox.com, the Fox Sports app, Fubo, and other streaming platforms with live TV capability. The 2024 Super Bowl drew over 200 million viewers. Now that USA sports betting is legal in many states, NFL fans will also be able to place bets on the game.
