It will mark the 10th Super Bowl broadcast for Fox Sports.

Fox’s pregame coverage of this year’s Super Bowl will begin with Fox NFL Sunday at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT with its regular lineup of Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, Jay Glazer and host Curt Menefee. Also joining for the 5 1/2-hour pregame: Charissa Thompson, Sean Payton, Charles Woodson, Michael Vick, Peter Schrager, Kristina Pink and Cooper Manning.
One thing that won’t happen during this year’s pregame: the mostly usual sit-down interview with the President of the United States by the covering network’s news division. Joe Biden won’t be doing that this year.
Ahead of kickoff, Chris Stapleton will sing the national anthem, with CODA Oscar winner Troy Kotsur performing the ASL version. Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful,” while Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
In the mix throughout the day on Fox are the usual slew of Super Bowl commercials, including Hollywood movie trailers, as marketers take advantage of the year’s biggest TV platform. Last year, Nielsen estimated that 90% of the U.S. who had their TVs on during the Super Bowl were watching the game. An estimated 112.3 million across all NBC platforms (NBC, Telemundo, Peacock) watched the game, which saw the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.
It was the most-watched TV program in five years, since Super Bowl LII.
