The biggest night in football is almost here.
The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off in Super Bowl 60 on Feb. 8. The NFL championship game will broadcast live on NBC and other streaming services.
In 2024, kids were treated to their own extra-special version of the Super Bowl on Nickelodeon, featuring green slime graphics and co-hosts SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. The quirky broadcast was the first time the Super Bowl had an alternate telecast on another network.
But will the Super Bowl air on Nickelodeon this year? Here’s what to know.
Is the Super Bowl on Nickelodeon this year?
The 2026 Super Bowl will not be available to watch on Nickelodeon or any other CBS-owned platforms, including Paramount+.
Is there a kids version of the Super Bowl this year?
It doesn’t appear that’s the case. Super Bowl 60 will broadcast on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock and any live streaming service with NBC.
Why isn’t the Super Bowl on Nickelodeon this year?
The Super Bowl aired on Nickelodeon in 2024 because CBS owned the broadcasting rights to the NFL championship game. However, NBC owns the broadcasting rights this year, meaning the game won’t air on CBS or Nickelodeon.
It’ll be a few years before a Nickelodeon Super Bowl might come back into view. CBS, and by extension possibly Nickelodeon, will broadcast the game in 2028, according to an agreement.
When is the Super Bowl?
