How to watch US coverage of Super Bowl in the UK so you can see iconic adverts and film trailers

Here is everything you need to know ahead of watching tonight's Super Bowl in the UK.

Arguably the US equivalent of the Champions League final, the 59th Super Bowl will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, an event which I'm told is the biggest day in the American Football calendar.

And because this is America, a massive sports game wouldn't be complete without multiple iconic adverts, new film trailers and a dazzling half-time show from one of the industry's biggest stars.

So, here is everything you need to know about watching tonight's game.

First thing you need to know about watching the Super Bowl is it's going to be a late one.

The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports NFL tonight. Coverage begins at 10:45pm GMT with the main event kicking off at around 11:30pm.

If you don't have a Sky package but fancy getting the full authentic experience, then you can stream the game via an NFL Game Pass via DAZN which features full US broadcast with commentary, commercials, and Kendrick Lamar's half-time show.

If you're not too bothered about getting an all-American experience tonight, after all the biggest moments will no doubt be online by time the rest of the UK wakes up, then you can catch the game on ITV1 and streaming services via ITVX.

Just make sure you've got your TV licence paperwork in order if you're streaming the game live, as nothing kills the mood quite like being slapped with a £1,000 fine.

The face off against Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs and Jalen Hurts' Eagles in New Orleans is a rerun of the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs clinched an exciting 38-35 win.

Should the Chiefs win tonight's game and they'll win the title for the third year in a row, a massive 'three-peat' which has never before been achieved in NFL history.

An achievement which the likes of Tom Brady missed out on during his glittering career.

As previously mentioned, the half time entertainment is coming courtesy of Lamar, whose Drake diss-track 'Not Like Us' recently won big at the Grammys - alongside a guest appearance from SZA. Meanwhile Post Malone will be headlining a Tailgate Concert, available via YouTube.

President Donald Trump will also reportedly be in attendance for the game, as will pop superstar Taylor Swift, who will be supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
