Where to watch the Super Bowl in Australia

In 2023, the Super Bowl was broadcast live on Channel 7 from 10:00 am AEDT – we can expect 2024 to be much the same. Network 7 has landed a deal that gives them the rights to broadcast the sporting event until 2024, meaning that next year we could be heading elsewhere.

Last year, over on catch-up services 7plus and 7mate, coverage kicked off at 9:00 am AEDT.

The 2024 NFL Super Bowl will also be shown on ESPN for those with a Foxtel subscription and Kayo for those with a streaming sub.

There is also the option of venturing out to watch the game at your local pub or sports bar if they’re opening up early for the big game.

Where is the Super Bowl 2024 being played?

As for location, the event is set to be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At this point, we all know that the Super Bowl is not just for football fans. The event gets a whole lot of attention for the sport (of course), but it also wins a not-insignificant amount of attention for its Halftime Show.

Do you remember the moment that was the JLo, Shakira performance in 2020?

Anyway. For 2024, it’s been announced that Usher will be headlining the Halftime Show, which has every millennial ready to put their hands up (and bend their knees).

On the news, Usher shared the following statement:

“It’s an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”

Will there be more Super Bowl ads to look out for in 2024? But of course! A lot of companies will be pumping money into advertising to gain those coveted slots.
