How to Watch, Stream Nickelodeon’s Super Bowl 2024 Broadcast With SpongeBob SquarePants

The cartoon character is set to MC a kid-friendly production of the NFL's flagship event.

In the United States, the Super Bowl is the cultural event of the year—a celebration of football, music and commerce, three of the activities at which our nation is best.

It makes sense, then, that America would add a fourth area of strength to the annual festivities: cartoons.

This year, in conjunction with fellow Paramount Global asset CBS, Nickelodeon will produce a broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers—involving everyone’s favorite poriferan, SpongeBob SquarePants. Other network mainstays, such as Patrick Star, are also expected to appear.
