List of Super Bowl broadcasters

This is a list of Super Bowl broadcasters, that is, all of the American television networks and sports announcers that have broadcast the championship game of the National Football League.

The network that televises each Super Bowl game is determined by the TV contracts that the league negotiates with all of its broadcasters about every 4-8 years.

[edit] Notes

(*) Note: Super Bowl I was simulcast on both CBS (at the time the sole NFL network) and NBC (the AFL network). From Super Bowl II onward, the networks began rotating exclusive coverage of the game on an annual basis.

(**) Note 2: The television contract for 1990-1993 had each network having one Super Bowl telecast as part of the package. The fourth Super Bowl (XVIII) was up for a separate sealed bid. NBC won the bid, and since they were last in the rotation for Super Bowl coverage in the regular contract, ended up with two straight Super Bowls. CBS is the only other network to televise two Super Bowls (I and II) in a row.

(***) Note 3: Expected announcer, subject to change.
