How to Watch the Superbowl in Australia on Monday

The NFL might not be your regular weekly sport, but frankly, there’s bugger all else going on right now, so the chance to sit down and enjoy a few hours of action is worthwhile.

This year, the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will battle for the title at the world-famous “Super Bowl” – an event that’s half sport, half entertainment – especially if you’re online seeing all the teasers for Super Bowl commercials and the hype for the half-time performance by Bad Bunny (whoever that is).

What time is the Super Bowl in Australia?

The biggest issue with the Super Bowl here in Australia is work. You’ve either got to have a very friendly and casual boss, or take the day off.

For those in the Eastern States with daylight saving (NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT), the game kicks off at 10.30 am.

Queenslanders, that’s 9.30 am for you.

South Australians will catch the game from 10 am, Northern Territorians at 9 am and for our West Aussie mates, it’s a nice before work 7.30 am.

Remember, this isn’t a quick game. Stoppage after stoppage, with flags thrown and offensive teams replacing defence over and over, it all takes time. Plus the ads. And the half-time show.

Expect the whole thing to still be going 3.5 hours after that kick-off time above.

How can I watch the Superbowl in Australia?

It’s live on Channel 7 – free to air.

But if you’ve got Kayo – you’ll get ESPN’s coverage, and if you’ve got Disney+, you’ll also get it under the ESPN tab. And for the three people with DAZN and an NFL pass, you’ll already know where to find it and are certainly not reading this.

The Seahawks last won the Super Bowl in 2014; the Patriots have won three times since then – so it’s anyone’s game. Should be a fun watch!

And for many, it’s a great warm-up to the epic Rams v 49’ers in Melbourne later this year!
