The 99p trick to watch US Super Bowl coverage if you are in the UK including half time commercials

The Super Bowl will be available to UK viewers on ITV, where a team of UK presenters will broadcast America's biggest sporting event. However, if you want to see US coverage including the famous half time commercials and Rhianna's half time show it will cost UK viewers just 99p.

In the UK, ITV will be broadcasting the Super Bowl live and free, having inked a three-year deal with NFL for the glittering event last summer. It's the first time the BBC won't be showing it live since 2014. Coverage begins at 10:45pm on ITV1.

Sky will also broadcast live coverage with their usual team of pundits led by Neil Reynolds via Sky Sports Main Event and their dedicated NFL channel.

Coverage will also be available online live and on demand via the ITVX app, ITV website and, for Sky subscribers, on the Sky Go app.

Meanwhile, fans keen to soak up all of the atmosphere and make sure they see all the iconic US adverts and full half time show can pick up the cheapest access to NFL Gamepass of the year for a bargain 99p.

As well as getting the US commentary and a full American flavour to all the coverage you get 31 days' access to the full Gamepass platform - so you can watch previous games through the season as well as enjoying NFL Original programming which offers behind-the-scenes footage of all the teams alongside documentaries like Hard Knocks, full NFL London games coverage and much more.

Fans outside the UK can sign up for a VPN to watch the ITV coverage. Services such ExpressVPN allow you to dial in and watch ITV even while out of the country, while fans can watch US coverage from outside the country using the same service.

VPNs also allow you to keep your web history completely private, keep your online data safe and secure, or stream movies and sports fixtures that aren't available in your current location.

You can get Express VPN here in time for tonight’s Super Bowl.

To watch on VPN you need to:

  • Download a VPN server like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to your laptop, tablet, phone or other streaming device of your choice
  • Once in the VPN’s interface, you then want to select a UK server
  • Head to the ITVHub and search for Super Bowl - or anything else you watch to watch
  • Press play, sit back and get ready to watch the drama unfold.
  • The 2023 Super Bowl will be contested by the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles are on 16-3 and are led by Jalen Hurts, while the Chiefs, also 16-3, include talisman Patrick Mahomes II was awarded the 2022 MVP prize for his superb performances this season.

    Rihanna is taking centre stage in the halftime show, as confirmed by the NFL in September 2022. At the time, Apple Music said: “It's ON. Rihanna will take the stage for the first-ever Apple Music Super Bowl Half-time Show on 2.12.23.”
