Updated Feb. 6, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year I was in New Zealand during the Super Bowl season. In the week before I was hiking the\u00a0Milford Track<\/a>\u00a0on the South Island, backpacking for four days across 33 miles, away from internet and television (though I did pack\u00a0a little travel radio<\/a>). For the actual game I was in the capitol city of Wellington, but I didn\u2019t even try to watch because I actually don\u2019t care much at all about football.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am, however, fascinated by the global phenomenon, and figuring out how radio listeners can tune in to hear it. But, due to my vacation I didn\u2019t write my annual \u201chow to listen to the Super Bowl\u201d post<\/a> in 2020. Even some six months ago I wasn\u2019t sure there would be a Super Bowl to write about in 2021. But here we are with the Buccaneers facing off against returning champions the Chiefs for Super Bowl LV on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021 at 6:30 PM EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Super Bowl Radio Broadcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the US it\u2019s pretty easy to find a Westwood One Sports terrestrial radio affiliate<\/a> carrying the game. Some stations black out their internet feed, and it\u2019s generally hard to predict which ones will. However, I\u2019ve found that clicking around will eventually land you on a functioning live stream. Note that your experience may vary depending on what state or country you\u2019re connecting from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reliable internet radio stream can be had with a NFL Game Pass subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Super Bowl will be broadcast in Spanish on Entravision stations<\/a> in 24 US radio markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satellite radio subscribers can listen in on SiriusXM channel 104<\/a> in the US. Canadian subscribers have it on XM 88<\/a>. Both are also available online. (Full disclosure: I\u2019m an employee of Stitcher, a subsidiary of SiriusXM Holdings, but that has no influence on including this listing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Super Bowl Broadcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also easy to find a television broadcast just about anywhere on the globe. But radio is much more of a challenge. Yet not everyone is in a position to watch a screen \u2013 whether they\u2019re working or driving, or are visually impaired. For many folks the most descriptive radio play-by-play is the best or most appropriate experience. That\u2019s why my annual quest is to find broadcasters all over the world that carry the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On terrestrial radio, our neighbors to the north in Canada can reliably follow the Super Bowl on the TSN Radio Network<\/a> in Montreal, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. To the south, Mexican listeners can tune in to W Radio and W Radio Deportes<\/a>, as well as Los 40<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further afield, Australians will be able to hear the game called by a home-grown announcer for the fourth year in a row on SEN 1116<\/a>. In the past years I\u2019ve been able to listen to this broadcast live online without problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK rights to the game seem to bounce around different networks, but this year Super Bowl 55 will be heard on BBC 5 Live<\/a>. In my experience the online stream is geofenced so that only UK audiences can catch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People serving in the American Armed Forces deployed around the world, as well as those who live near a base, can hear the big game on AFN Radio<\/a>. Military personnel can also hear it the online streaming via AFN 360. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise I haven’t been able to track down terrestrial radio broadcasts anywhere else in the world. Please send me your tip<\/a> if I’m missing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
