The anticipation builds as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles gear up to meet in Super Bowl 59, marking their second clash in three years.

This year’s Super Bowl is set to unfold at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 9, featuring Kendrick Lamar and SZA as the halftime performers.

Unlike last year, the Super Bowl will not be broadcast on Nickelodeon or any CBS-owned platforms, including Paramount+. Instead, the game will air on Fox, the same network that hosted Super Bowl 57 with the Chiefs and Eagles matchup.

The broadcasting rights for the Super Bowl rotate due to the NFL’s 11-year deal established in 2021, which allows networks like FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC/ESPN to alternate coverage each year.

Although fans hoping to watch Super Bowl 59 on Nickelodeon may be disappointed, several options are available for viewing the game on different platforms and channels without the channel’s signature green slime.

What are the details for Super Bowl 59?

The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Will Nickelodeon broadcast the Super Bowl this year? Why not?

No, Nickelodeon will not have a broadcast for the Super Bowl this year.

Nickelodeon shares a parent company, Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS), with CBS. However, if CBS does not hold the broadcasting rights, Nickelodeon also misses out. This means there will be no repeat of last year’s enjoyable appearances by characters like Spongebob, Patrick, and Dora in 2025.

According to the existing agreement, CBS and possibly Nickelodeon will air the game next in 2028.

How to watch the Super Bowl on TV

Fox will broadcast the Super Bowl live, so check your local listings for the correct channel.

Additionally, viewers can access Fox through DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV, providing ample options for NFL enthusiasts to enjoy Super Bowl 59.

How to stream the Super Bowl

While Fox will air Super Bowl 59, the game won’t be available for streaming on the Fox Sports App. Instead, viewers can watch the game for free on Tubi, Fox’s streaming service.
