On Sunday 7
th February, the spectacle of the NFL’s Super Bowl will once again unfold on our screens. The match-up sees the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by 6-time winner Tom Brady, face off against last year’s winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, with The Weeknd headlining the famous half-time show. The event will kick off at 11.30pm GMT and can be watched in the UK on both Sky and BBC One.
For the first time in Super Bowl history, a participating team will play in their home stadium. Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium is set to host Sunday’s big game, with a reduced attendance of 22,000 fans. More history is set to be broken as Sarah Thomas will become the first female to officiate in a Super Bowl.
