We’re just days away from the 60th installment of the Super Bowl. Right now, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots are busy preparing for the biggest game of the season, with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, and soon we’ll see them in action. But as any football fan knows, the Super Bowl is about so much more than the game.
How to Watch
Watch Sunday Night Football on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
That’s why NBC Sports will offer a full afternoon of pregame programming leading up to the Big Game, including exciting sights around the San Francisco Bay, a peek at the NFL Tailgate, tons of A-list stars and much more. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store.

What to expect from NBC’s Super Bowl coverage: Live from Alcatraz and More
Five and half hours is a lot of time to fill with pregame coverage, so you might be wondering what the NBC team plans to deliver in all that time. Well, we don’t know everything yet, so you can expect a few surprises, but here are just a few of the features coming our way.
Members of the pregame show team, including Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, and Jac Collinsworth, will be reporting live from Alcatraz, the historic island site of the world-famous former high-security prison. An icon of the Bay Area, Alcatraz is a national landmark with a rich history, and NBC’s football coverage will be supplemented with stories from the island’s history and cultural significance, including “unprecedented” views of the island and the surrounding bay.
Throughout the day, NBC Sports will also bring you live performances from the official NFL Tailgate concert, segments on both teams and their key players, expert analysis, and much more, including work from Chris Simms, Jason Garrett, Mike Florio, NBC News’ political correspondent Steve Kornacki, betting analysis from Matthew Berry, and live reports from the NFL Tailgate by Kit Hoover.
Maria Taylor serves as the lead host for the Super Bowl LX Pregame Show and hosts the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation – her first time in both roles.
Locations that will be featured in the pre-game coverage includes Alcatraz Island, Golden Gate Bridge, McCovey Cove, PIER 39, Treasure Island, Super Bowl Experience at the Moscone Center, Bay Bridge, Patriots Team Hotel and the Seahawks Team Hotel.
It all leads up to Super Bowl LX, where the broadcast team will feature Sunday Night Football mainstays Cris Collinsworth, Mike Tirico, Terry McAulay, Melissa Stark, and Kaylee Hartung.
