Paramount Press Express | SUPER BOWL LVIII IS GETTING SLIMED ON NICKELODEON!

CBS Sports and Nickelodeon are teaming up for the first-ever Super Bowl alternate telecast. It will be a surprise-filled special presentation geared towards kids and families, airing exclusively on Nickelodeon on Sunday, February 11th, 2024 at 6:30 PM ET. Building on the success of Nickelodeon’s Emmy Award-winning special telecast of the 2021 NFL Wild Card Game, the alternate telecast of Super Bowl LVIII will feature next-level on-field graphics, guest reporters, virtual filters, and more. Paramount will cover Super Bowl LVIII through CBS Sports’ presentation on the CBS Television Network, which will also stream on Paramount+ and NFL+ for mobile devices. Additionally, there will be a Nick-ified telecast exclusively on Nickelodeon.

“This will be a historic Super Bowl in Las Vegas, and we’re thrilled to partner with the NFL to bring the game to the whole family with the first-ever alternate telecast of the Super Bowl,” said Bob Bakish, president and CEO of Paramount. “In year one of our new long-term deal with the NFL, we continue to maximize our expanded distribution rights and further unlock the value of the League through the demonstrated power of our multiplatform portfolio across CBS, Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with CBS Sports and Nickelodeon to present the first alternate telecast of the Super Bowl,” said Hans Schroeder, NFL executive vice president of media distribution. “Our previous telecasts on Nickelodeon have been huge hits and created a new and different way to experience an NFL game. We’re excited to bring that creativity to Super Bowl LVIII and give our fans another way to enjoy one of the world’s most popular sporting events.”

“We are unbelievably proud to partner with CBS Sports and the NFL to bring Nick’s personality and unique visual sensibility to the Super Bowl,” said Brian Robbins, president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon; and chief content officer, Movies & Kids & Family at Paramount+. “As we’ve shown with our prior zeitgeist-busting Wild Card and Nickmas coverage, combining the absolute excitement of NFL action with the creativity that can only come from Nickelodeon’s cool POV makes for a must-see event for kids and families everywhere.”

“We are excited to expand this extremely successful partnership between CBS Sports, Nickelodeon and the NFL for television’s biggest stage at Super Bowl LVIII,” said Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports. “There is nobody more suited than our CBS Sports production team, in conjunction with our friends at Nickelodeon, to deliver an innovative and slime-filled Nick-ified telecast for kids and family, alongside our industry-leading NFL production on CBS, to create a truly unique viewing experience and broaden the reach of the Super Bowl to a new legion of fans.”

The NFL and Paramount are focusing on international growth, and as a part of this, the Super Bowl Nickelodeon telecast will be distributed internationally in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand on a delayed basis. More details will be announced later.

Further information on the Nickelodeon Super Bowl telecast, including the programming, production, and announcers, will be revealed at a later date.

Super Bowl LVIII will be CBS Sports’ and Nickelodeon’s second collaboration of the 2023-24 NFL season. Nickelodeon will also air the NICKELODEON NFL NICKMAS GAME, a Christmas Day game with lots of slime, on Monday, Dec. 25, at 1:00 PM ET. The game will be between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs and will be available on CBS Sports, Paramount+, and NFL+. This was announced in May.

In previous years, CBS Sports’ and Nickelodeon’s family-friendly telecasts during the NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend earned two Sports Emmy Awards in the categories of Outstanding Playoff Coverage and Outstanding Live Graphic Design.
