What Channel Does The Super Bowl Come On This Year
Okay, folks, let's get real. It's almost Super Bowl time. And you know what that means. Commercials! (And maybe some football, if you're into that kind of thing.)
The Question Everyone's (Secretly) Asking
So, the big question is: What channel do I need? I mean, seriously, who actually remembers from year to year? Don't worry, I'm here to help you (and myself, because I forget every single year).
This Year's Lucky Network: CBS
Drumroll please... This year, the Super Bowl is on CBS! Yes, the home of NCIS and, let's be honest, your grandma's favorite shows.
Must Read
So dust off that antenna (or, you know, fire up your streaming service). Get ready for some football... and a whole lot of ads.
Why Does It Always Change?
Now, you might be wondering, "Why isn't it always on the same channel?" Good question! It's all about the broadcast rights.
Basically, the big networks (CBS, NBC, FOX, and sometimes ABC) take turns showing the Super Bowl. It's like a giant game of network hot potato.
My Unpopular Opinion About the Super Bowl
Here's where I get a little controversial. I'm going to say it: I'm mostly in it for the snacks and the commercials.
Don't get me wrong, a good football game is exciting. But those commercials? They're like mini-movies!
And the halftime show? Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's... well, let's just say memorable. Remember Left Shark? Still makes me chuckle.
Never forget!
So, You Don't Have Cable? No Problem!
Living that cord-cutter life? No sweat! There are tons of ways to watch the Super Bowl without cable.
Streaming services like Paramount+ (since it's on CBS), Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV will all have it. Just make sure you sign up for a free trial... and remember to cancel before they charge you!
The Pre-Game Shenanigans
Don't forget about the pre-game show! It's hours of analysis, predictions, and celebrity interviews that you may or may not care about.
But hey, it's something to have on in the background while you're prepping your guacamole and arguing with your relatives about whose team is going to win. (Spoiler alert: it's probably not your team.)
Commercial Bingo: A Super Bowl Tradition
Want to make the commercials even more interesting? Play Commercial Bingo! You can find printable cards online or create your own.
Include things like "talking animal," "celebrity endorsement," and "emotional tug at your heartstrings." It's surprisingly fun!
It might be more fun than watching the game, depending who you ask. 😉
Enjoy the Show (Whatever You're Watching For)!
So there you have it. CBS is your go-to channel this year for the Super Bowl. Now go forth and enjoy the game, the commercials, the halftime show, and all the delicious snacks!
And remember, even if your team loses (like mine probably will), there's always next year. Unless, of course, you're a Detroit Lions fan. Then...well, there's always hope! #OnePride
Happy Super Bowl-ing! May your wings be crispy, your beer be cold, and your commercials be entertaining.
