The Super Bowl has long been an American spectacle. Every second of the game is analyzed, and for good reason. After all, the Lombardi Trophy is what NFL teams play for all season long. Even beyond the game, every move is closely watched, right down to the halftime show and pre-game ceremonies.
No network owns permanent rights to the Super Bowl. The big game is split between three (and soon four) different networks on a rotating basis, giving different broadcasters the opportunity to call America’s premier sporting event.
The network that will host the Super Bowl doesn’t just broadcast a football game. It also features performances, commercials and extended pre-game coverage that attract millions of additional viewers.
Here are the details on the Super Bowl 58 broadcast and how you can watch it.
Who will broadcast the 2024 Super Bowl?
CBS will broadcast Super Bowl 58 on February 11, 2024, in a rotation of three networks that will soon become four. NBC, CBS and Fox will alternately broadcast the Super Bowl, with ABC joining the rotation with Super Bowl 61 in February 2027.
Super Bowl 58 can also be streamed live on Supreme+.
CBS revealed some of its Super Bowl 58 broadcast plans on February 2, giving a glimpse of what production will look like. CBS will have 165 cameras on hand, including “doink cameras” built into each goal post. One more addition will be the “Red Cat Camera,” which provides an aerial view of the field from the Allegiant Stadium walkways. The camera could give fans at home a clearer view of plays at the goal line.
The network will have about 1,000 employees in Las Vegas for the big game and plans to have cameras throughout the city for expanded coverage of the scenes before and during the Super Bowl.
Despite being such a popular product, the broadcast rights to the Super Bowl are actually set through the 2033 season. Fox will air Super Bowl 59, while NBC will take its turn with Super Bowl 60 before its coverage of the Games. 2026 Summer Olympics.
Below is the list of Super Bowls that have been broadcast with the rotation established by the current television agreement.

How much does it cost to broadcast the Super Bowl?
The NFL does not sell the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl individually, so the cost is covered by what each of the networks pays for the overall NFL broadcast rights.
CBS, Fox and NBC pay an excess of $2 billion to broadcast the NFL under the league’s new broadcast deal. Fox ($2.2 billion) spends the most, NBC ($2 billion) spends the least, and CBS ($2.1 billion) falls right in the middle. These figures are more than double what each party paid under the previous agreement. The current deal was agreed in 2021.
Additionally, Amazon Prime pays $1 billion for the “Thursday Night Football” window alone.
All of these deals mean the NFL is making billions of dollars from its television partners, but the high price these networks pay (aside from Amazon Prime) comes with the benefit of being part of the coveted Super Bowl rotation.
Super Bowl announcers: Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
Last year’s Super Bowl broadcast surprised some viewers as two rookies, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, were in the Fox booth. That won’t be the case this year.
Play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz will be on the call from Las Vegas along with commentator Tony Romo, marking Nantz’s seventh Super Bowl in the CBS booth and Romo’s third.
Nantz served as CBS pregame host and Super Bowl trophy presentation leader at the end of the 2000 and 2003 seasons, but had the opportunity to call the big game for the first time in February 2007 at Super Bowl 41. Nantz has since called classics, including the Saints’ victory over the Colts and the Ravens’ “Blackout Bowl” victory over the 49ers.
Romo joined the CBS booth after his retirement in 2017, instantly becoming Nantz’s partner on the network’s top broadcast team. This will be his third Super Bowl, although it will notably be Romo’s first that doesn’t end with Tom Brady’s victory. Romo was in the booth for Super Bowls 53 and 55, the former of which was Brady’s final championship with the Patriots and the latter of which was the quarterback’s only title with the Buccaneers.
Nantz and Romo have called a Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes: a loss to Brady and the Buccaneers three years ago. They’ll get the chance again when the Chiefs face the 49ers for the second time in five years.
Only six different play-by-play announcers have called the Super Bowl since the turn of the century: Nantz, Burkhardt, Al Michaels, Joe Buck, Greg Gumbel and Pat Summerall. Mike Tirico is expected to join the ranks when NBC hosts Super Bowl 60.
Super Bowl Sideline Reporters: Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn
Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn will be CBS’ sideline reporters for Super Bowl 58.
Wolfson has worked with the network’s No. 1 team, led by Jim Nantz, since the 2014 season. This will be her fifth Super Bowl as a sideline reporter, a streak that began with Super Bowl 47 between the Ravens and 49ers.
Washburn works with CBS’ No. 2 team, led by Ian Eagle, but networks traditionally switch to two sideline reporters for the Super Bowl to make sure they have both teams well covered. This will be Washburn’s fourth Super Bowl for CBS, the first being the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 win over Carolina.
One of Wolfson and Washburn will be assigned to the Chiefs, while the other will be assigned to the 49ers.
What channel is the Super Bowl on?
Super Bowl 58 will air nationally on CBS.
