The following is alist of Super Bowl broadcasters, encompassing all nationalAmericantelevision andradio networks, as well assports announcers who have covered the first fourAFL-NFLWorld Championship Games and subsequent championship games of theNational Football League. It excludes announcers who may have appeared on local radio broadcasts produced by participating teams'flagship stations.
Super Bowl I stands out as the only Super Bowl simultaneously broadcast in the U.S. by two different networks. At the time,NBC held the rights to nationally televise AFL games, whileCBS had the rights for NFL games. Both networks covered the game using their own announcers, but NBC could only use the CBS feed instead of producing its own.[1][2] Starting withSuper Bowl II, NBC televised even years, and CBS odd years. This rotation continued through the 1970AFL–NFL merger, when NBC gained the rights to televise AFC games, and CBS to broadcast NFC games. DespiteABC broadcastingMonday Night Football in 1970, it joined the Super Bowl rotation only fromSuper Bowl XIX, in January 1985. ABC, CBS, and NBC then continued to rotate the Super Bowl until 1994, whenFox replaced CBS as the NFC broadcaster. CBS then assumed NBC's place in the rotation after CBS replaced NBC as the AFC broadcaster in 1998. Due to new contracts signed in 2006, NBC took overSunday Night Football fromESPN, took ABC's place in the Super Bowl rotation, andMonday Night Football moved from ABC to ESPN. It continued until new contracts took effect in 2024, allowing not only ABC to return and initiate a four-network rotation but also ESPN to air their first two Super Bowls.[3][4][5]
The four-year rotation starting withSuper Bowl LVIII also allows each broadcaster to offer simulcasts or alternative broadcasts on its sister networks and platforms.[3] CBS's sister networkNickelodeon aired an alternate children-oriented telecast of Super Bowl LVIII.[6] ABC's rights include ESPN simulcasts and alternative broadcasts on other ESPN networks.[3][7]
The NFL broke the traditional broadcasting rotation at least twice, both times involving NBC, CBS, andWinter Olympics.[8][9][10] NBC originally had broadcasting rights forSuper Bowl XXVI, and CBS forSuper Bowl XXVII. However, the NFL allowed the networks to switch the two games to provide CBS with a significant lead-in to its coverage of the1992 Winter Olympics.[11] Similarly, NBC was set to airSuper Bowl LV and CBSSuper Bowl LVI, but the networks agreed to swap the broadcasting rights. Therefore, CBS benefited from holding rights to the Super Bowl and the 2021NCAA Final Four, while NBC paired its Super Bowl coverage with the2022 Winter Olympics.[10][12] Under the four-network rotation starting in 2024, the league awarded NBC or any network that airs the Winter Olympics the Super Bowl during Winter Olympic years.[3][11][13][14]
CBS has televised the most Super Bowl games, withSuper Bowl LV being its 21st, and it just completed the broadcast of its 22nd withSuper Bowl LVIII in February 2024.[15]

NBC executives have promoted this as a "once in a lifetime" day. However, it is about to become a common occurrence. When the NFL's 11-year television contract starts in 2023, NBC's spot in the Super Bowl rotation lines up the same year as the Winter Olympics.
