How to watch on TV
Super Bowl 2024 is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the live event will run for about three and a half hours on CBS and Nickelodeon. You might be questioning why the kids channel is broadcasting the game. Well, Nickelodeon is owned by CBS and it seems like the company is trying to target the younger demographic too.
I mean, there's plenty of younger football fans too. And this way the whole family can enjoy! After all, that's one of the best things about the Super Bowl. It brings friends and family together. While I'm not a personal fan of sports, I always enjoy the Super Bowl parties every year. Nickelodeon will also have a more family-centric broadcast. How fun! Check out what time Super Bowl LVIII will be on based on where you live:
- Eastern: 6:30 p.m. ET
- Central: 5:30 p.m. CT
- Pacific: 3:30 p.m. PT
- Mountain: 4:40 p.m. MT
The two networks, CBS and Nickelodeon, are both included in cable packages. However if you don't have cable and prefer to take another route, there are multiple options.
