Super Bowl 60 Approaching with Excitement
Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, and it’s expected that over 100 million people across the U.S. will tune in to watch the highlight of the NFL season. Last year’s game drew a staggering average of 127.7 million viewers on TV and online, not even counting those who listened via the radio.
This year’s Super Bowl 60 might not feature the same star power as last year’s clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, but the upcoming matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots definitely opens doors to new narratives. Given that it’s been four years since the Chiefs were absent from the Super Bowl, this could draw in a fresh audience.
The game is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET.
How to Catch Super Bowl 60 on TV
NBC has the rights to broadcast this year’s Super Bowl. So, viewers can expect to see Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the booth, while Kaylee Hartung and Melissa Stark will be reporting from the sidelines. There will also be a rules analyst in the form of former NFL referee Terry McCauley.
It’s worth noting that NBC last hosted a Super Bowl in 2022 for Super Bowl 56, which also featured Collinsworth and Macaulay, though most of the crew was new. Al Michaels was the lead announcer back then, with Tirico stepping in to take over this time. For Hartung, it’s her first Super Bowl, while Stark has some experience, having reported for Super Bowl XXXVII back in 2003.
Streaming Super Bowl 60 Online
NBC is also the authorized streaming partner for this game, meaning fans can catch the action on Peacock. This service stands alone but is also accessible through platforms like DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV. The same team of announcers from NBC will be featured.
Listening to Super Bowl 60 on the Radio
While many people choose to watch the Super Bowl on TV or through a streaming service, there are still some who prefer to listen via radio. This could be for a number of reasons, such as lack of access to a TV. Either way, Kevin Harlan will be on air, which should make for an entertaining experience.
Westwood One is the NFL’s official radio broadcast partner, providing national coverage. Listeners can tune in via traditional radio, the Westwood One Sports app, SiriusXM, NFL+, and the NFL app.
Harlan has been the voice for Westwood One for many years, and he has quite the track record. His highlight reels include memorable NBA moments, and while you might want to check those out, he’s also known for iconic NFL call moments like the infamous streaker at Super Bowl 55.
For this Super Bowl, Harlan will be doing play-by-play, joined by analyst Kurt Warner and sideline reporter Laura Okmin, with Gene Steratore handling rules explanations. In the studio, you’ll find Scott Graham and Ryan Harris working together.
If you’re a fan of either the Seahawks or Patriots, there are local radio options as well. The Seahawks will be covered by Seattle Sports 710 AM and KIRO NewsRadio 97.3 FM, with Steve Rable, Dave Wyman, and Jen Mueller providing commentary. Fans of the Patriots can catch the game on 98.5 The Sports Hub or SiriusXM channel 821, with Bob Socci, Scott Zolak, and Mark Capello on the local broadcasts.
