Who will broadcast Super Bowl 56?
Super Bowl LVI will be carried by NBC after they agreed to a deal with CBS, who was due to broadcast the Super Bowl this year. In return, CBS broadcast Super Bowl LV. The reason for the swap was that NBC will also be broadcasting the Winter Olympics which run a week on either side of the Super Bowl. Therefore, by also broadcasting the Super Bowl, NBC will not be competing against the NFL by broadcasting Winter Olympic coverage on Sunday evening.
Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will be the announcers for Super Bowl 56. They will be supported by Michele Tafoya and Kathryn Tappen during the game. Meanwhile, the team of Mike Tirico, Maria Taylor, Jac Collinsworth, Tony Dungy, Drew Brees, Rodney Harrison, and Chris Simms will provide analysis before the game, at halftime, and during the postgame.
